Proverbs 11:3-8
New King James Version
3 The integrity of the upright will guide (A)them,
But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them.
4 (B)Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,
But (C)righteousness delivers from death.
5 The righteousness of the blameless will [a]direct his way aright,
But the wicked will fall by his own (D)wickedness.
6 The righteousness of the upright will deliver them,
But the unfaithful will be caught by their lust.
7 When a wicked man dies, his expectation will (E)perish,
And the hope of the unjust perishes.
8 (F)The righteous is delivered from trouble,
And it comes to the wicked instead.
