The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way, but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
6
The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, but the transgressors shall be taken in their own wickedness.
7
When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish; and the hope of unjust men perisheth.
8
The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
9
A hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbor, but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
10
When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth; and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
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 wisdom despiseth his neighbor, but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
13
A talebearer revealeth secrets, but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
14
Where no counsel is, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.
15
He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it, and he that hateth suretyship is sure.
