Proverbs 11:5–8

5  The righteousness of the blameless ikeeps his way straight,

but the wicked falls by his own wickedness.

6  hThe righteousness of the upright delivers them,

but the treacherous jare taken captive by their lust.

7  When the wicked dies, his khope will perish,

and lthe expectation of wealth1 perishes too.

8  mThe righteous is delivered from trouble,

and the wicked walks into it instead.
