Proverbs 11:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 11:5
The righteousness of the perfect directs his way, but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. Perfect (tamim - complete, blameless) righteousness provides guidance like a compass directing the path. Conversely, wickedness causes self-destruction - 'fall by his own wickedness' emphasizes that evil is self-sabotaging. Righteousness produces flourishing; wickedness produces ruin. The verse refutes the lie that wickedness leads anywhere but destruction.
