³ The integrity of the upright guides them,
    but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.

⁶ The righteousness of the upright will save them,
    but by a scheme the treacherous will be taken captive.

¹⁸ A ransom for the righteous is the wicked,
    and the faithless instead of the upright.

¹² The eyes of Yahweh keep watch over knowledge,
    but he will overthrow the words of the faithless.
