³ The integrity of the upright will guide ^(A)them,
But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them.

^9 (A)Fools mock at ^[a]sin,
But among the upright there is favor.

^11 (A)The house of the wicked will be overthrown,
But the tent of the upright will flourish.

^8 (A)The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
But the prayer of the upright is His delight.

^19 (A)The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns,
But the way of the upright is a highway.

¹⁷ The highway of the upright is to depart from evil;
He who keeps his way preserves his soul.
