9  Whoever ^twalks in integrity ^uwalks securely,

but he who makes his ways ^vcrooked will be found out.

3  ^wThe integrity of the upright guides them,

but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.

6  ^aRighteousness ^bguards him whose way is blameless,

but sin overthrows the wicked.

26  The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord,

but ^ygracious words are pure.

8  The way of the guilty is ⁿcrooked,

but the conduct of the pure is upright.

8  Whoever ^bplans to do evil

will be called a schemer.

9  The devising¹ of folly is sin,

and the scoffer is an abomination to mankind.

18  Whoever ^kwalks in integrity will be delivered,

but he who is crooked in his ways will suddenly fall.

10  Bloodthirsty men hate one who is blameless

and seek the life of the upright.¹
