²⁰ So you may walk in the way of good men,
    and keep the paths of the righteous.

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

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

¹⁷ The merciful man does good to his own soul,
    but he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.

²⁷ He who diligently seeks good seeks favor,
    but he who searches after evil, it shall come to him.

³⁰ The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life.
    He who is wise wins souls.

² A good man shall obtain favor from Yahweh,
    but he will condemn a man of wicked plans.

²² A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,
    but the wealth of the sinner is stored for the righteous.
