New International Version Anglicized

Proverbs 11:6-9 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

6. The righteousness of the upright delivers them,but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desires.

7. Hopes placed in mortals die with them;all the promise of their power comes to nothing.

8. The righteous person is rescued from trouble,and it falls on the wicked instead.

9. With their mouths the godless destroy their neighbours,but through knowledge the righteous escape.
