will guide them, but the perversity of the unfaithful will
destroy them. Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but
righteousness delivers from death. The righteousness of the
blameless [man] will direct his way aright, but the wicked
will fall by his own wickedness. The righteousness of the
upright will deliver them, but the unfaithful will be caught
by their lust. (Proverbs 11, 3-6)
The desire of the righteous is only good, but the expectation
of the wicked is wrath. (Proverbs 11, 23)
He who earnestly seeks good finds favor, but trouble will
come to him who seeks evil. (Proverbs 11, 27)
The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but
He loves him who follows righteousness. (Proverbs 15, 9)
In mercy and truth atonement is provided for iniquity; and
by the fear of the Lord one departs from evil. When a man's
ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at
peace with him. Better is a little with righteousness, than
vast revenues without justice. (Proverbs 16, 6-8)
The highway of the upright is to depart from evil...
(Proverbs 16, 17)
Do not be envious of evil men, nor desire to be with them;
for their heart devises violence, and their lips talk of
troublemaking. (Proverbs 24, 1-2)
Just like Christians and Muslims, Jews have a duty to
behave well towards others and to do good.
