Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.

Verse 4 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.

Gut hilft nicht am Tage des Zorns; aber Gerechtigkeit errettet vom Tod.
No aprovecharán las riquezas en el día de la ira: Mas la justicia librará de muerte.
Au jour de la colère, la richesse ne sert à rien; Mais la justice délivre de la mort.
Le ricchezze non gioveranno al giorno dell’indegnazione; Ma la giustizia riscoterà da morte
De nada aproveitam as riquezas no dia da ira, mas a justiça livra da morte.
遭怒的日子錢財無益; 惟有公義能救人脫離死亡。
