⁹ He that walketh uprightly walketh surely;
But he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

³ The integrity of the upright shall guide them;
But the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.

⁶ Righteousness guardeth ^[a]him that is upright in the way;
But wickedness overthroweth ^[b]the sinner.

²⁶ Evil devices are an abomination to Jehovah;
But ^[a]pleasant words are pure.

⁸ The way of him that is laden with guilt is exceeding crooked;
But as for the pure, his work is ^[a]right.

⁸ He that deviseth to do evil,
Men shall call him a mischief-maker.
⁹ The thought of foolishness is sin;
And the scoffer is an abomination to men.

¹⁸ Whoso walketh uprightly shall be delivered;
But ^[a]he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

¹⁰ The bloodthirsty hate him that is perfect;
^[a]And as for the upright, they seek his life.
