The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 11 of Proverbs. False scales represent economic corruption and receive explicit condemnation, showing that wisdom spirituality includes commercial justice. Humility, integrity, and righteousness protect a person when the consequences of decisions arrive. Wealth may appear to provide security, but it cannot deliver from judgment; righteousness, by contrast, appears as a way of life that guides a person even in the face of death.

Unschuld wird die Frommen leiten; aber die Bosheit wird die Verächter verstören.
La integridad de los rectos los encaminará: Mas destruirá a los pecadores la perversidad de ellos.
La integridad de los rectos los guía, pero la perversidad de los traidores los destruye.
L'intégrité des hommes droits les dirige, Mais les détours des perfides causent leur ruine.
L’integrità degli uomini diritti li conduce; Ma la perversità de’ disleali di distrugge
A sinceridade dos íntegros os guiará, mas a perversidade dos aleivosos os destruirá.
正直人的純正必引導自己; 奸詐人的邪惡必毀滅自己。
