Proverbs 11:5

In context

3The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them. 4Wealth does not profit on the day of wrath, but righteousness rescues from death. 5The righteousness of the person of integrity makes his way straight, but the wicked man falls by his own wickedness. 6The righteousness of the upright rescues them, but the treacherous are caught by their own craving. 7When a wicked man dies, his hope perishes, and the expectation set on strength is lost.
