3 Honesty guides good people;dishonesty destroys treacherous people.
4 Riches won’t help on the day of judgment,but right living can save you from death.
5 The godly are directed by honesty;the wicked fall beneath their load of sin.
6 The godliness of good people rescues them;the ambition of treacherous people traps them.
7 When the wicked die, their hopes die with them,for they rely on their own feeble strength.
8 The godly are rescued from trouble,and it falls on the wicked instead.
9 With their words, the godless destroy their friends,but knowledge will rescue the righteous.
