3 The integrity of the upright will guide them. The perverseness of transgressors will destroy them.
5 Righteousness of the undefiled [man of integrity] directs his way! Wickedness causes the evil to fall.
9 A godless hypocrite destroys his neighbor with his mouth. The righteous will be delivered through knowledge.
10 The city rejoices when all goes well with the righteous. There is joyful shouting when the wicked perish.
11 The city is exalted by the blessing of the upright. The mouth of the wicked ruins the city.
12 He who is void of wisdom despises his neighbor, but a man of understanding holds his peace.
14 The people fall where there is no counsel. Yes, the people fall but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.
18 The wicked works a deceitful work. There is a sure reward for the one who sows righteousness.
20 Those who are of a perverse heart are abomination to Jehovah. The way of the upright is his delight.
21 Hand in hand united, the wicked shall not be unpunished; but the descendants of the righteous will be delivered.
23 The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is intense anger.
24 There is one who scatters, and yet increases. There is one who withholds what is due and it leads to poverty.
26 He who withholds corn from the people will be cursed. Blessing will be on the head of him that sells it.
29 He who troubles his own house will inherit the wind. The fool will serve the wise of heart.
