6The right conduct of those who please God keeps them safe, but the treacherous are trapped by their cravings.
7When a wicked man dies, his hope perishes and the hope that was in his strength comes to nothing.
8The righteous person is kept away from trouble and it comes upon the wicked instead.
9With his mouth the godless person destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge righteous people are kept safe.
10When righteous people prosper, a city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.
