³ The integrity of the upright shall guide them, But the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.

⁶ Righteousness guards the way of integrity, But wickedness overthrows the sinner.

¹⁷ If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

²⁸ But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together, And those who forsake Yahweh shall be consumed.

¹⁷ Don't be too wicked, neither be foolish. Why should you die before your time?

¹⁸ Whoever walks blamelessly is kept safe; But one with perverse ways will fall suddenly.

⁷ The violence of the wicked will drive them away, Because they refuse to do what is right.

³ The foolishness of man subverts his way; His heart rages against Yahweh.

⁵ The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way, But the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

¹ > Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Yahweh without wavering.

²¹ Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for you.
