PROVERBS CHAPTER 11.
V. 4. Riches profit not in the day of wrath, when God prepares to judge the earth; but righteousness delivereth from death, true righteousness of life will be found acceptable in the Last Day.
V. 5. The righteousness of the perfect, of him whose conduct is beyond reproach, shall direct his way, make it plain and open, enabling him to walk in the security of a good conscience; but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness, their own lusts proving a snare to them.
V. 6. The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, being accepted as an adequate defense in the court of God; but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness, caught in the trap which they set for others.
