²² But the wicked will be cut off from the land,
    and the treacherous will be uprooted from it.

¹⁴ Do not enter the path of the wicked,
    or go along the way of evil men.

¹⁹ But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness,
    and they do not know what they are stumbling over.

²² The wicked person’s iniquities will capture him,
    and he will be held with the cords of his sin.

¹² A worthless man, a wicked man,
    goes around with devious speech,

⁶ Blessings come^[a] upon the head of the righteous,
    but the words^[b] of the wicked conceal violence.

²⁰ What the righteous person says^[a] is like precious silver;
    the thoughts of the wicked are compared to small things.

²⁴ What the wicked fears will come about,
    but the longing of the righteous will be granted.
