Proverbs 11:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ Good people are honest, and that shows them the right way to live.
    But wicked people are not honest, and that destroys them.
⁴ When it is time for God to punish you, money will not help you to escape.
    But if you are righteous, that will save you from death.
⁵ An honest man who is righteous has a straight path to walk on.
    But the sins of a wicked person will cause him to fall down.
