³ 
The integrity and moral courage of the upright will guide them,
But the crookedness of the treacherous will destroy them.

⁶ 
The righteousness of the upright will rescue them,
But the treacherous will be caught by their own greed.

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].

¹² 
The eyes of the Lord keep guard over knowledge and the one who has it,
But He overthrows the words of the treacherous.
