The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked comes in his stead.
But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
When a wicked man dies, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perishes.
A hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall escape from trouble.
The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.
Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
