Proverbs

³The integrity of the upright shall guide them; But the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them. ⁴Riches profit not in the day of wrath; But righteousness delivereth from death. ⁵The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way; But the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. ⁶The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them; But the treacherous shall be taken in their own iniquity. ⁷When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish; And the hope of iniquity perisheth. ⁸The righteous is delivered out of trouble, And the wicked cometh in his stead. ⁹With his mouth the godless man destroyeth his neighbor; But through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered.
