3 The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the unfaithful destroys them. The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them. The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.
4 Wealth does not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from mortal danger. Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death. Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.
5 The righteousness of the blameless will make straight their way, but the wicked person will fall by his own wickedness. The righteousness of the blameless keeps his way straight, but the wicked falls by his own wickedness. The righteousness of the blameless makes their paths straight, but the wicked are brought down by their own wickedness.
6 The righteousness of the upright will deliver them, but the faithless will be captured by their own desires.
