Proverbs 11:7

HopeDeath and loss

5 The righteousness of the blameless directs their path, but the wicked fall by their own wickedness.

6 The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the faithless are trapped by their own desires.

When the wicked man dies, his hope perishes, and the hope of his strength vanishes.

8 The righteous man is delivered from trouble; in his place the wicked man goes in.

9 With his mouth the ungodly man destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous are rescued.
