Proverbs 11:7

"The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, but the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires."

Key Reflection

This verse highlights that righteous living protects and delivers those who adhere to moral uprightness, while the wicked are ensnared by their own sinful inclinations. It underscores the protective nature of righteousness against life's种种诱惑，反衬出不忠者因罪欲而自陷困境。

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Significant words, as showing the belief that when the righteous died, his “expectation” (i. e., his hope for the future) did not perish. The second clause is rendered by some, “the expectation that brings sorrow.”
