4 Riches will not help when it’s time to die.But doing what is right will save you from dying too soon.
5 The goodness of an innocent person makes his life easier.But a wicked person will be destroyed by his wickedness.
6 Doing what is right brings freedom to honest people.But those who are not trustworthy will be caught by their own desires.
7 When a wicked person dies, his hope is gone.The hopes he placed in his riches will come to nothing.
8 The good man is saved from trouble.It comes to the wicked instead.
9 By his words an evil person can destroy his neighbor.But a good person will escape by being smart.
10 When good people succeed, the city is happy.When evil people die, there are shouts of joy.
