6The righteousness of upright men delivers them: But transgressors are caught in their own destruction.
7At the death of a just man his hope does not perish: But the boast of the ungodly perishes.
8A righteous man escapes from a snare, And the ungodly man is delivered up in his place.
9In the mouth of ungodly men is a snare to citizens: But the understanding of righteous men is prosperous.
10In the prosperity of righteous men a city prospers:
11But by the mouths of ungodly men it is overthrown.
12A man void of understanding sneers at his fellow citizens: But a sensible man is quiet.
13A double-tongued man discloses the secret counsels of an assembly: But he that is faithful in spirit conceals matters.
