³² For the ^(A)devious one is an abomination to Yahweh;
But His ^(B)secret council is with the upright.

³ The ^(A)integrity of the upright will lead them,
But the ^(B)crookedness of the treacherous will destroy them.

⁶ The righteousness of the upright will deliver them,
But the treacherous will ^(A)be captured by their own desire.

¹¹ By the blessing of the upright a city is raised up,
But by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down.

⁹ Ignorant fools scoff at guilt,
But ^(A)among the upright there is favor.

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

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

¹⁹ The way of the sluggard is as a hedge of thorns,
But the path of the upright is a highway.

¹⁷ The ^(A)highway of the upright is to turn away from evil;
He who guards his way keeps his ^[a]soul.
