³ The integrity of the upright shall guide them,
    but the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.

⁶ The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them,
    but the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires.

¹⁸ The wicked is a ransom for the righteous,
    the treacherous for the upright.

¹² Yahweh’s eyes watch over knowledge;
    but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.
