6 A justiça dos corretos os livrará; mas os transgressores serão presos em sua própria perversidade.

7 Quando o homem mau morre, sua expectativa morre; e a esperança de seu poder perece.

8 O justo é livrado da angústia; e o perverso vem em seu lugar.

9 O hipócrita com a boca prejudica ao seu próximo; mas os justos por meio do conhecimento são livrados.

10 No bem dos justos, a cidade se alegra muito; e quando os perversos perecem, há alegria.
