Proverbs 11:5-9

The righteousness of the blameless will smooth his way, But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.

The righteousness of the upright will rescue them, But the treacherous will be caught by their own greed.

When a wicked person dies, his expectation will perish, And the hope of strong people perishes.

The righteous is rescued from trouble, But the wicked takes his place.

With his mouth the godless person destroys his neighbor, But through knowledge the righteous will be rescued.
