Proverbs 11:4-8 Good News Bible (GNB)

4. Riches will do you no good on the day you face death, but honesty can save your life.

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

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

7. When the wicked die, their hope dies with them. Confidence placed in riches comes to nothing.

8. The righteous are protected from trouble; it comes to the wicked instead.
