Righteousness guards him whose way is blameless, But wickedness overthrows the sinner.

Evil pursues sinners, But to the righteous, good shall be repaid.

A haughty look, a proud heart, And the plowing of the wicked are sin.

Do not let your heart envy sinners, But be zealous for the fear of the Lord all the day;

The devising of foolishness is sin, And the scoffer is an abomination to men.
-
Like one who takes away a garment in cold weather, And like vinegar on soda, Is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.

He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

By transgression an evil man is snared, But the righteous sings and rejoices.
