Proverbs 11:4-9

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.
