If you are good, you are guided by honesty. People who can't be trusted are destroyed by their own dishonesty.

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

Righteousness rescues those who are honest, but those who can't be trusted are trapped by their own greed.

Those who obey God in everything and always do what is right, whose words are true and sincere,

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.

The sins of the wicked are a trap. They get caught in the net of their own sin.

God, the righteous one, knows what goes on in the homes of the wicked, and he will bring the wicked down to ruin.

He offered sacrifices to the gods of the Syrians, who had defeated him. He said, "The Syrian gods helped the kings of Syria, so if I sacrifice to them, they may help me too." This brought disaster on him and on his nation.

May those who accuse others falsely not succeed; may evil overtake violent people and destroy them.
