3 The integrity of the upright guides them, but the perversity of the treacherous destroys them.
4 Wealth is not profitable on a day of wrath,but righteousness rescues from death.
5 The righteousness of the blameless clears his path,but the wicked person will fall because of his wickedness.
6 The righteousness of the upright rescues them,but the treacherous are trapped by their own desires.
7 When the wicked man dies,his expectation comes to nothing,and hope placed in wealth vanishes.
8 The righteous one is rescued from trouble;in his place, the wicked one goes in.
9 With his mouth the ungodly destroys his neighbor,but through knowledge the righteous are rescued.
