5. 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 they that deal treacherously shall be taken in their own mischief.
7. When a wicked man dieth his expectation shall perish: and the hope of iniquity perisheth.
8. The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
9. With his mouth the godless man destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered.
