4
Wealth profiteth not in a day of wrath, And righteousness delivereth from death.
5
The righteousness of the perfect maketh right his way, And by his wickedness doth the wicked fall.
6
The righteousness of the upright delivereth them, And in mischief the treacherous are captured.
7
In the death of a wicked man, hope perisheth, And the expectation of the iniquitous hath been lost.
8
The righteous from distress is drawn out, And the wicked goeth in instead of him.
9
With the mouth a hypocrite corrupteth his friend, And by knowledge the righteous are drawn out.
10
In the good of the righteous a city exulteth, And in the destruction of the wicked [is] singing.
11
By the blessing of the upright is a city exalted, And by the mouth of the wicked thrown down.
12
Whoso is despising his neighbour lacketh heart, And a man of understanding keepeth silence.
13
A busybody is revealing secret counsel, And the faithful of spirit is covering the matter.
14
Without counsels do a people fall, And deliverance [is] in a multitude of counsellors.
