Proverbs 11:5-7

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁵ The righteousness of the blameless clears his path,
but the wicked person will fall because of his wickedness.

⁶ The righteousness of the upright rescues them,
but the treacherous are trapped by their own desires.^(A)

⁷ When the wicked man dies,
his expectation comes to nothing,
and hope placed in wealth^[a][b] vanishes.^(B)
