"Wealth and riches are in his house; And his righteousness endureth for ever." — Psalms 112:3 (ASV)
His righteousness endures for ever. —The parallelism in Psalm 112:9, where the same clause is repeated, seems to require for righteousness the limited sense which the Talmud gives the word—namely, liberality or beneficence. See also Daniel 4:27, in the Septuagint. Still the saying is true in its widest sense. “There is nothing, no, nothing, innocent or good, that dies or is forgotten; let us hold to that faith, or none” (Dickens).
