Proverbs 11:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ The ways of honest people are made straight because they do what is right.
    But those who do what is wrong are brought down by their own sins.

⁶ Godly people are saved by doing what is right.
    But those who aren’t faithful are trapped by evil longings.

⁷ Hopes placed in human beings will die with them.
    Everything their power promised comes to nothing.
