4
Riches shall not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness shall deliver from death.
5
The righteousness of the perfect shall straighten his way, but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
6
The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, but transgressors shall be imprisoned in
their own sin.
7
When the wicked man dies,
his hope perishes, and the hope of unjust
men shall perish.
8
The righteous is delivered out of the tribulation, and the wicked takes his place.
9
The hypocrite with
his mouth destroys his neighbour, but the just are delivered with wisdom.
10
When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices, and when the wicked perish,
there are feasts.
11
By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
12
He that is void of understanding despises his neighbour, but the intelligent man remains silent.
13
A talebearer reveals secrets, but he that is of a faithful spirit conceals the matter.
14
When intelligence is lacking, the people shall fall, but in the multitude of counsellors
there is salvation.
