3 Good people will be guided by honesty;dishonesty will destroy those who are not trustworthy.
4 Riches will not help when it’s time to die,but right living will save you from death.
5 The goodness of the innocent makes life easier,but the wicked will be destroyed by their wickedness.
6 Doing right brings freedom to honest people,but those who are not trustworthy will be caught by their own desires.
7 When the wicked die, hope dies with them;their hope in riches will come to nothing.
8 The good person is saved from trouble;it comes to the wicked instead.
9 With words an evil person can destroy a neighbor,but a good person will escape by being resourceful.
