Proverbs 11:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ The righteousness of upright people rescues them,
but treacherous people are trapped by their own desire.
⁷ At the death of a wicked man, his hope will perish,
and his confidence in his strength^[a] perishes.
⁸ A righteous person is rescued from trouble,
and a wicked person takes his place.
