- The righteousness of the upright will deliver them, But the treacherous will be caught by their own greed.
- When a wicked man dies, his expectation will perish, And the hope of strong men perishes.
- The righteous is delivered from trouble, But the wicked takes his place.
- With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor, But through knowledge the righteous will be delivered.
- When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices, And when the wicked perish, there is joyful shouting.
