The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.

The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.

The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.

Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.

The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
