5 The righteousness of the blameless makes their paths straight, but the wicked are brought down by their own wickedness.
5 The righteousness of the blameless keeps his way straight, but the wicked falls by his own wickedness.
5 Moral character makes for smooth traveling; an evil life is a hard life.
5 The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way aright, But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.
5 The godly are directed by honesty; the wicked fall beneath their load of sin.
