There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death.

He who despises his neighbor sins;
But he who has mercy on the poor, happy is he.

In the fear of the LORD there is strong confidence,
And His children will have a place of refuge.
The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life,
To turn one away from the snares of death.

Righteousness exalts a nation,
But sin is a reproach to any people.
