2The Lord blesses the good, but he condemns anyone with evil schemes.
3Wickedness doesn't provide security, but those who live right are deeply rooted and cannot be moved.
4A good wife is a crown for her husband, but one who brings shame is like rot in his bones.
5Good people make plans that are fair, but the advice of the wicked is deceptive.
6The words of the wicked are like a violent ambush, but those of honest people save them.
7The wicked are destroyed, and they're gone, but the family of the good stands firm.
