2When pride cometh, then cometh disgrace; But with the humble is wisdom.
3The integrity of the upright shall guide them; But the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
4Riches do not profit in the day of wrath; But righteousness delivereth from death.
5The righteousness of the good man maketh his way plain; But the wicked falleth through his wickedness.
6The righteousness of the upright delivereth them; But transgressors are ensnared in their own mischief.
7When the wicked man dieth, his hope cometh to an end; Yea, the expectation of the unjust cometh to an end.
8The righteous man is delivered from trouble, And the wicked cometh into it in his stead.
9By his mouth the vile man destroyeth his neighbor; But by the knowledge of the righteous are men delivered.
10When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth; And when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
11By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted; But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
