Honesty makes a good person's life easier, but the wicked will cause their own downfall.

Righteousness protects the innocent; wickedness is the downfall of sinners.

May my goodness and honesty preserve me, because I trust in you.

Declare me innocent, O LORD, because I do what is right and trust you completely.

Whoever is willing to do what God wants will know whether what I teach comes from God or whether I speak on my own authority.

The wicked are doomed by their own violence; they refuse to do what is right.

Be honest and you will be safe. If you are dishonest, you will suddenly fall.

But don't be too wicked or too foolish, either---why die before you have to?

But he will crush everyone who sins and rebels against him; he will kill everyone who forsakes him.
