2 Wherever arrogance may be, there too is insult. But wherever humility is, there too is wisdom.
3 The simplicity of the just shall direct them, and the rebellion of the perverse will devastate them.
4 Wealth will not profit in the day of vengeance. But justice shall liberate from death.
5 The justice of the simple shall direct his way. And the impious will fall in his impiety.
6 The justice of the upright shall free them. And the iniquitous will be seized by their own treachery.
7 When the impious man is dead, there will no longer be any hope. And the expectation of the anxious will perish.
8 The just one is freed from anguish. And the impious one will be handed over instead of him.
