Proverbs 11:6-8

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁶ The righteousness of the upright [their rectitude in every area and relation] shall deliver them, but the treacherous shall be taken in their own iniquity and greedy desire.

⁷ When the wicked man dies, his hope [for the future] perishes; and the expectation of the godless comes to nothing.

⁸ The [uncompromisingly] righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked gets into it instead.
