^4 (B)Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,
But ^(C)righteousness delivers from death.
⁵ The righteousness of the blameless will ^[a]direct his way aright,
But the wicked will fall by his own ^(D)wickedness.
⁶ The righteousness of the upright will deliver them,
But the unfaithful will be caught by their lust.

And the hope of the unjust perishes.
^8 (F)The righteous is delivered from trouble,
And it comes to the wicked instead.
