Proverbs 11:3

World English Bible

³The integrity of the upright shall guide them,
but the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.

Proverbs 11:3

New Living Translation

³Honesty guides good people;
dishonesty destroys treacherous people.

⁶The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them,
but the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires.

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

¹⁸The wicked is a ransom for the righteous,
the treacherous for the upright.

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

¹²Yahweh’s eyes watch over knowledge;
but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.

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