Proverbs 11:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵ The righteousness of honest people makes their way smooth,
but because of his wickedness a wicked person falls.
⁶ The righteousness of upright people rescues them,
but treacherous people are trapped by their own desire.
⁷ At the death of a wicked man, his hope will perish,
and his confidence in his strength^[a] perishes.
