Proverbs 11:6-8

Modern English Version

⁶ The righteousness of the upright will deliver them,
    but transgressors will be taken by their schemes.

⁷ When a wicked man dies, his expectation will perish,
    and the hope of unjust men perishes.

⁸ The righteous is delivered out of trouble,
    and the wicked comes in his place.
