⁸ 
The way of the guilty is [exceedingly] crooked,
But as for the pure, his conduct is upright.

¹² 
The righteous one keeps an eye on the house of the wicked—
How the wicked are cast down to ruin.

¹⁵ 
When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous (the upright, the one in right standing with God),
But to the evildoers it is disaster.

¹⁸ 
The wicked become a ransom for the righteous,
And the treacherous in the place of the upright [for they fall into their own traps].

²¹ 
He who earnestly seeks righteousness and loyalty
Finds life, righteousness, and honor.^(A)

²⁹ 
A wicked man puts on a bold face,
But as for the upright, he considers, directs, and establishes his way [with the confidence of integrity].
