Proverbs 11:4-6

New Century Version

⁴ Riches will not help when it’s time to die,
    but right living will save you from death.

⁵ The goodness of the innocent makes life easier,
    but the wicked will be destroyed by their wickedness.

⁶ Doing right brings freedom to honest people,
    but those who are not trustworthy will be caught by their own desires.
