Proverbs 11:5-7
EasyEnglish Bible

5 An honest man who is righteous has a straight path to walk on.
    But the sins of a wicked person will cause him to fall down.
6 When honest people are righteous, that will keep them safe.
    But the bad things that wicked people want will catch them in a trap.
7 When a wicked person dies, he has no hope for anything good.
    Everything that he hoped his strength would give him disappears!
