Whatever they do shall Prosper

Proverbs 12:3. A man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
Jeremiah 17:8. For he will be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes, but its leaf will be green, and will not be concerned in the year of drought. It won’t cease from yielding fruit.
