Proverbs 11:4-10

⁴Wealth won't help you on judgment day, but goodness saves you from death.

⁵The goodness of the innocent keeps them on track, but the wicked fall by their own wickedness.

⁶The goodness of those who live right will save them, but the dishonest are trapped by their own desires.

⁷When a wicked person dies, their hopes die with them; what the godless look forward to is gone.

⁸The good are saved from trouble, while the wicked get into trouble.

⁹Godless people mouth off and destroy their neighbors, but the good are saved by wisdom.

¹⁰The whole town celebrates when good people are successful; they also shout for joy when the wicked die.
