³Honesty guides good people;
dishonesty destroys treacherous people.

Proverbs 11:3

Living Bible

³A good man is guided by his honesty; the evil man is destroyed by his dishonesty.

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

⁶The good man’s goodness delivers him; the evil man’s treachery is his undoing.

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

¹⁸The wicked will finally lose; the righteous will finally win.^[a]

Proverbs 21:18 The wicked will finally lose; the righteous will finally win, literally, “The wicked is a ransom for the righteous.”

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

¹²The Lord preserves the upright but ruins the plans^[a] of the wicked.
