   5: The righteousness of the perfect maketh right his way, And by his wickedness doth the wicked fall.
   6: The righteousness of the upright delivereth them, And in mischief the treacherous are captured.
   7: In the death of a wicked man, hope perisheth, And the expectation of the iniquitous hath been lost.
   8: The righteous from distress is drawn out, And the wicked goeth in instead of him.
   9: With the mouth a hypocrite corrupteth his friend, And by knowledge the righteous are drawn out.
