Proverbs 11:4-8

English Standard Version

^4 (A)Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,
    ^(B)but righteousness delivers from death.
⁵ The righteousness of the blameless ^(C)keeps his way straight,
    but the wicked falls by his own wickedness.
^6 (D)The righteousness of the upright delivers them,
    but the treacherous ^(E)are taken captive by their lust.
⁷ When the wicked dies, his ^(F)hope will perish,
    and ^(G)the expectation of wealth^[a] perishes too.
^8 (H)The righteous is delivered from trouble,
    and the wicked walks into it instead.
