"The wicked is a ransom for the righteous, And the treacherous is in the place of the upright."
— Proverbs 21:18, NASB
“The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.”
“The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; And the treacherouscomethin the stead of the upright. ”
“The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; the treacherous for the upright.”
“The wicked become a ransom for the righteous, and the treacherous are taken in the place of the upright.”
“The wicked is delivered up for the just: and the unjust for the righteous.”
“The evil-doer will be given as a price for the life of the good man, and the worker of deceit in the place of the upright.”
“The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.”
The exercise of justice is joy for the righteous, But is terror to the workers of iniquity.
A man who wanders from the way of understanding Will rest in the assembly of the dead.
He who loves pleasure will become a poor man; He who loves wine and oil will not become rich.
The wicked is a ransom for the righteous, And the treacherous is in the place of the upright.
It is better to live in a desert land Than with a contentious and vexing woman.
There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise, But a foolish man swallows it up.
He who pursues righteousness and loyalty Finds life, righteousness and honor.
