The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them. | Honesty guides good people; dishonesty destroys treacherous people. |
He who walks with integrity walks securely, But he who perverts his ways will become known. | People with integrity walk safely, but those who follow crooked paths will be exposed. |

He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly. | He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity. |
With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless. | To the faithful you show yourself faithful; to those with integrity you show integrity. |
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, Who walk in the law of the Lord! | Joyful are people of integrity, who follow the instructions of the Lord. |
The way of the Lord is strength for the upright, But destruction will come to the workers of iniquity. | The way of the Lord is a stronghold to those with integrity, but it destroys the wicked. |
Now therefore, let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take care and do it, for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, no partiality, nor taking of bribes. | Fear the Lord and judge with integrity, for the Lord our God does not tolerate perverted justice, partiality, or the taking of bribes. |
