Proverbs 11:6-8

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁶ The righteousness of the upright rescues them,
but the treacherous are trapped by their own desires.^(A)

⁷ When the wicked man dies,
his expectation comes to nothing,
and hope placed in wealth^[a][b] vanishes.^(B)

⁸ The righteous one is rescued from trouble;
in his place, the wicked one goes in.^(C)
