3The integrity of the upright guides them,
but the perversity of the faithless destroys them.
4Riches are worthless in the day of wrath,
but righteousness brings deliverance from death.
5The righteousness of the blameless directs their path,
but the wicked fall by their own wickedness.
6The righteousness of the upright delivers them,
but the faithless are trapped by their own desires.
— Proverbs 11:3-6
