Proverbs 11:5-7

New Century Version

⁵ The goodness of the innocent makes life easier,
    but the wicked will be destroyed by their wickedness.

⁶ Doing right brings freedom to honest people,
    but those who are not trustworthy will be caught by their own desires.

⁷ When the wicked die, hope dies with them;
    their hope in riches will come to nothing.
