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.

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

²⁷ He who diligently seeks good seeks [God’s] favor, but he who searches after evil, it shall come upon him.
