Proverbs 11:5-9

⁵The righteousness of the perfect maketh even his way; but by his own wickedness will the wicked fall.

⁶The righteousness of the upright will deliver them; but through their own sinful desires are the treacherous caught.

⁷When a wicked man dieth, his hope vanisheth; and the expectation of his children is lost.

⁸The righteous is delivered out of distress, and the wicked cometh in his stead.

⁹With his mouth doth the hypocrite destroy his neighbor; but through knowledge are the righteous delivered.
