Proverbs 11:3

New Living Translation

³Honesty guides good people;
dishonesty destroys treacherous people.

Proverbs 11:3

Common English Bible

³Integrity guides the virtuous,
but dishonesty ruins the treacherous.

⁶The godliness of good people rescues them;
the ambition of treacherous people traps them.

⁶Those who do right are saved by their righteousness,
but the untrustworthy are caught by their own desires.

¹⁸The wicked are punished in place of the godly,
and traitors in place of the honest.

¹⁸The wicked are a ransom for the righteous;
the treacherous will be punished^[a] in the place of the virtuous.

¹²The Lord preserves those with knowledge,
but he ruins the plans of the treacherous.

¹²The Lord’s eyes protect knowledge,
but he frustrates the words of the treacherous.
