Proverbs 11:4-6

Contemporary English Version

⁴ When God is angry,
    money won't help you.
Obeying God is the only way
    to be saved from death.
⁵ If you are truly good,
    you will do right;
if you are wicked,
you will be destroyed
    by your own sin.
⁶ Honesty can keep you safe,
but if you can't be trusted,
    you trap yourself.
