When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.
3
The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them.
4
Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death.
5
The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way aright, But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.
6
The righteousness of the upright will deliver them, But the unfaithful will be caught by their lust.
7
When a wicked man dies, his expectation will perish, And the hope of the unjust perishes.
8
The righteous is delivered from trouble, And it comes to the wicked instead.
9
The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor, But through knowledge the righteous will be delivered.
10
When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices; And when the wicked perish, there is jubilation.
11
By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
12
He who is devoid of wisdom despises his neighbor, But a man of understanding holds his peace.
