The righteous is delivered out of trouble,\par\tab And the wicked cometh in his stead.
The wicked is a ransom for the righteous;\par\tab And the treacherous {\i cometh} in the stead of the upright.
When a wicked man dieth, {\i his} expectation shall perish;\par\tab And the hope of iniquity perisheth.
With his mouth the godless man destroyeth his neighbor;\par\tab But through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered.
In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man;\par\tab But the righteous shall come out of trouble.
But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah;\par\tab He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
Then king Darius wrote unto all the peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied unto you.
