Ἐξάγαγε ἐκ φυλακῆς τὴν ψυχήν μου, τοῦ ἐξομολογήσασθαι τῷ ὀνόματί σου.	Bring my soul out of prison to give thanks to Your name, O Lord. [SAAS]
Ἀσώτου δίκην ἀπέστην, τῆς χάριτός σου Κύριε, καὶ τὸν πλοῦτον δαπανήσας τῆς χρηστότητος, ἐπὶ σὲ ἔδραμον, εὔσπλαγχνε κραυγάζων σοι· ὁ Θεὸς ἥμαρτον ἐλέησόν με.	Like the Prodigal Son, I departed from Your grace, O Lord, and I spent the wealth of Your goodness. Now I have run back to You, O compassionate Father, and I cry out to You: O God, I have sinned; have mercy on me. [SD]
Ἐμὲ ὑπομενοῦσι δίκαιοι, ἕως οὗ ἀνταποδῷς μοι.	The righteous shall wait for me, until You reward me. [SAAS]
Ἀσώτου δίκην ἀπέστην, τῆς χάριτός σου Κύριε, καὶ τὸν πλοῦτον δαπανήσας τῆς χρηστότητος, ἐπὶ σὲ ἔδραμον, εὔσπλαγχνε κραυγάζων σοι· ὁ Θεὸς ἥμαρτον ἐλέησόν με.

Ἐκ βαθέων ἐκέκραξά σοι, Κύριε· Κύριε, εἰσάκουσον τῆς φωνῆς μου.	Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord; O Lord, hear my voice. [SAAS]
Τῶν ἐπιγείων ἁπάντων, καταφρονήσαντες, καὶ τῶν βασάνων ἀνδρείως κατατολμήσαντες, τῶν μακαρίων ἐλπίδων οὐκ ἠστοχήσατε, ἀλλʼ οὐρανῶν Βασιλείας κληρονόμοι γεγόνατε, πανεύφημοι Μάρτυρες, ἔχοντες παῤῥησίαν πρὸς τὸν φιλάνθρωπον Θεόν, τῷ κόσμῳ τὴν εἰρήνην αἰτήσασθε, καὶ ταῖς ψυχαῖς ἡμῶν τὸ μέγα ἔλεος.	You disdained all earthly things, and you manfully defied the tortures. And hence you failed not in your blessed hopes, but became heirs of the Kingdom of heaven, O Martyrs, extolled throughout the world. Since to our humane God you speak with freedom, ask for peace for the world, and great mercy upon our souls. [SD]
Ἦχος πλ. αʹ.	Mode pl. 1.

Γενηθήτω τὰ ὦτά σου προσέχοντα εἰς τὴν φωνὴν τῆς δεήσεώς μου.	Let Your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication. [SAAS]
Τὸν θυρεὸν τῆς πίστεως περιβαλλόμενοι, καὶ τῷ τύπῳ τοῦ Σταυροῦ, ἑαυτοὺς διαναστήσαντες, πρὸς τὰς βασάνους ἀνδρείως ἀπηυτομόλησαν, καὶ διαβόλου τὴν πλάνην καὶ τὸ θράσος κατήργησαν, οἱ Ἅγιοί σου Κύριε. Αὐτῶν ταῖς ἱκεσίαις, ὡς παντοδύναμος Θεός, τῷ κόσμῳ τὴν εἰρήνην κατάπεμψον, καὶ ταῖς ψυχαῖς ἡμῶν τὸ μέγα ἔλεος.	Armed with the shield of faith, and rousing themselves to action with the sign of the Cross, O Lord, Your Saints of their own accord went forth courageously to the tortures, and they abolished the delusion and the audacity of the devil. At their entreaties, O omnipotent God, send peace down upon the world, and great mercy upon our souls. [SD]
Ἦχος πλ. αʹ.	Mode pl. 1.

Ἐὰν ἀνομίας παρατηρήσῃς, Κύριε Κύριε, τίς ὑποστήσεται; ὅτι παρὰ σοὶ ὁ ἱλασμός ἐστιν.	If You, O Lord, should mark transgression, O Lord, who would stand? For there is forgiveness with You. [SAAS]
Πρεσβεύσατε ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν, ἅγιοι Μάρτυρες, ἵνα ῥυσθῶμεν τῶν ἀνομιῶν ἡμῶν· ὑμῖν γὰρ ἐδόθη χάρις, πρεσβεύειν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν.	Intercede on our behalf, O holy Martyrs, * that we be delivered from our iniquities. * For to you has the grace been given to intercede on our behalf. [SD]
Ἦχος πλ. αʹ.	Mode pl. 1.

Ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός σου ὑπέμεινά σε, Κύριε, ὑπέμεινεν ἡ ψυχή μου εἰς τὸν λόγον σου. Ἤλπισεν ἡ ψυχή μου ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον.	Because of Your law, O Lord, I waited for You; my soul waited for Your word. My soul hopes in the Lord. [SAAS]
Ἀκορέστῳ διαθέσει ψυχῆς, Χριστὸν οὐκ ἀρνησάμενοι, ἅγιοι Μάρτυρες, τοὺς δεινοὺς καὶ διαφόρους αἰκισμούς, παθημάτων ὑπεμείνατε, τῶν τυράννων τὰ θράση κατηδαφίσατε, ἀκλινῆ καὶ ἄτρωτον τὴν πίστιν φυλάξαντες, εἰς οὐρανοὺς μετέστητε· ὅθεν καὶ παῤῥησίας τυχόντες πρὸς αὐτόν, αἰτήσασθε δωρηθῆναι, ἡμῖν τὸ μέγα ἔλεος.	Refusing to deny Christ, O holy Martyrs, you endured the various painful tortures with an insatiable willingness of soul. You humbled the impudence of the tyrants, having kept your faith steadfast and invulnerable, and you were translated to heaven. Since you therefore have obtained confidence before the Lord, entreat Him that great mercy be granted to us. [SD]

Ἀπὸ φυλακῆς πρωΐας μέχρι νυκτός· ἀπὸ φυλακῆς πρωΐας ἐλπισάτω Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον.	From the morning watch until night; from the morning watch until night, let Israel hope in the Lord. [SAAS]
Ἱερωσύνης στολαῖς ἠγλαϊσμένος, Θεῷ ἐλειτούργησας, καθάπερ Ἄγγελος, τῷ διʼ ἡμᾶς ὕλῃ σώματος, ἐπιφανέντι, θύων Βασίλειε μεγαλώνυμε, ἐντεῦθεν ὡς τέλειον πρόβατον τέθυσαι, καὶ καθαρὸν θῦμα γέγονας, καὶ προσηνέχθης, νῦν εἰς τὸ ἄνω θυσιαστήριον· ὅθεν φωναῖς σε μακαρίζομεν, χαρμονικῶς καὶ βοῶμέν σοι· ἱκετεύων μὴ παύσῃ, τοῦ σωθῆναι τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν.	You were adorned in the robes of holy orders. * Serving God angelically, you liturgized for Him * who was revealed to us physically, for our salvation. * Then, having offered the bloodless sacrifice, * you in turn were sacrificed like an unblemished lamb. * You have become a pure sacrifice, and have been offered * now as a victim on the altar on high. * Therefore we sing to you and call you blest, * and with gladness and joy we cry out to you: * Never cease, O Saint Basil, to entreat the Lord to save our souls. [SD]
Ὅτι παρὰ τῷ Κυρίῳ τὸ ἔλεος καὶ πολλὴ παρʼ αὐτῷ λύτρωσις, καὶ αὐτὸς λυτρώσεται τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν ἀνομιῶν αὐτοῦ.	For with the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is abundant redemption; and He shall redeem Israel from all his transgressions. [SAAS]
Ἱερωσύνης στολαῖς ἠγλαϊσμένος, Θεῷ ἐλειτούργησας, καθάπερ Ἄγγελος, τῷ διʼ ἡμᾶς ὕλῃ σώματος, ἐπιφανέντι, θύων Βασίλειε μεγαλώνυμε, ἐντεῦθεν ὡς τέλειον πρόβατον τέθυσαι, καὶ καθαρὸν θῦμα γέγονας, καὶ προσηνέχθης, νῦν εἰς τὸ ἄνω θυσιαστήριον· ὅθεν φωναῖς σε μακαρίζομεν, χαρμονικῶς καὶ βοῶμέν σοι· ἱκετεύων μὴ παύσῃ, τοῦ σωθῆναι τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν.	You were adorned in the robes of holy orders. * Serving God angelically, you liturgized for Him * who was revealed to us physically, for our salvation. * Then, having offered the bloodless sacrifice, * you in turn were sacrificed like an unblemished lamb. * You have become a pure sacrifice, and have been offered * now as a victim on the altar on high. * Therefore we sing to you and call you blest, * and with gladness and joy we cry out to you: * Never cease, O Saint Basil, to entreat the Lord to save our souls. [SD]
Αἰνεῖτε τὸν Κύριον, πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, ἐπαινέσατε αὐτόν, πάντες οἱ λαοί.	Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles; praise Him, all you peoples. [SAAS]
Ἀφαιρεθεὶς τὴν δορὰν κρίσει ἀδίκῳ, τοὺς πόνους ὑπήνεγκας ἀποσκοπούμενος, λῆξιν τὴν ἄπονον Ἔνδοξε, καὶ τὰ βραβεῖα, τὰ τοῖς ἀθλήσασιν ἀποκείμενα, πυρὶ δὲ στομούμενος, οἷά περ σίδηρος, οὐρανοχάλκευτον γέγονας, παμμάκαρ, ξίφος, πάσας συγκόπτων ἐχθροῦ τὰς φάλαγγας· ὅθεν τιμᾷ σε πᾶσα σήμερον, τῶν εὐσεβῶν γλῶσσα χαίρουσα, καὶ αἰτεῖ δυσωπεῖν σε, τὸν Θεὸν ὑπὲρ τῆς ποίμνης σου.	When you were flayed after your unjust conviction, * you endured the pain of it by looking hopefully * to your own death and the blessed end, where there is no pain, * and the rewards that for martyrs are prepared. * Tempered in the fire, you became an iron sword, * forged in the heavens and cutting down the foe’s battalions. * Therefore, O Basil, all-blest and glorious, * now every tongue of all the Orthodox * honors you and rejoices, and prays to you * that you ever entreat God * on behalf of us your sacred flock. [SD]
Ὅτι ἐκραταιώθη τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια τοῦ Κυρίου μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.	For His mercy rules over us; and the truth of the Lord endures forever. [SAAS]
Ὡραϊσμένος τοῖς στίγμασι τοῖς θείοις, εἰς πόλιν ἐκ πόλεως δέσμιος ἔτρεχες, καταδεσμεύων τὸν τύραννον, καὶ τὰς πορείας, τῶν σῶν βημάτων κατευθυνόμενος, καὶ δὴ πρὸς Καισάρειαν πόλιν γενόμενος, ἐν ταύτῃ τέλος μακάριον, καθυπεδέξω, καὶ πρὸς τὴν πόλιν τὴν ἐπουράνιον, στεφανηφόρος ἀνελήλυθας, καὶ Θεῷ Βασιλεῖ νῦν παρίστασαι, ὃν ἱκέτευε σῶσαι, καὶ φωτίσαι τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν.	Your wounds for God decorated you, O Basil. * You ran from city to city shackled and in bonds, * and yet you shackled in mighty bonds the wicked tyrant, * and you directed the ways of your own steps * to the city Caesarea; and when you arrived, * there you received your all-blessed end, O Hieromartyr, * and you ascended into the heavenly * eternal city with a martyr’s crown. * Now you stand in the presence of God the King. * Never cease to entreat Him * to illumine us and save our souls. [SD]

Ἐμνήσθην τοῦ Προφήτου βοῶντος· Ἐγώ εἰμι γῆ καὶ σποδός, καὶ πάλιν κατενόησα ἐν τοῖς μνήμασι, καὶ εἶδον τὰ ὀστᾶ τὰ γεγυμνωμένα, καὶ εἶπα· Ἆρα τίς ἐστι; Βασιλεύς, ἢ στρατιώτης, ἢ πλούσιος, ἢ πένης, ἢ δίκαιος, ἢ ἁμαρτωλός; ἀλλὰ ἀνάπαυσον, Κύριε, μετὰ δικαίων τοὺς δούλους σου, ὡς φιλάνθρωπος.	I remembered how the Prophet once said: “I am but dust and ashes”; and then I looked into the graves and saw the naked bones, and in turn I exclaimed: “Who can tell, which one was a king, which one a soldier, rich or poor, a righteous man or a sinner?” Nevertheless, O Lord, grant that Your servants may rest with the righteous, in Your benevolence.

Ἐν τῇ Ἐρυθρᾷ θαλάσσῃ, τῆς ἀπειρογάμου νύμφης εἰκὼν διεγράφη ποτέ. Ἐκεῖ Μωϋσῆς διαιρέτης τοῦ ὕδατος, ἐνθάδε Γαβριὴλ ὑπηρέτης τοῦ θαύματος· τότε τὸν βυθὸν ἐπέζευσεν ἀβρόχως Ἰσραήλ, νῦν δὲ τὸν Χριστὸν ἐγέννησεν ἀσπόρως ἡ Παρθένος· ἡ θάλασσα μετὰ τὴν πάροδον τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, ἔμεινεν ἄβατος· ἡ Ἄμεμπτος μετὰ τὴν κύησιν τοῦ Ἐμμανουήλ, ἔμεινεν ἄφθορος. Ὁ ὢν καὶ προών, καὶ φανεὶς ὡς ἄνθρωπος, Θεὸς ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς.	In the Red Sea long ago, there was a prefigurement of the ever-virgin Mary. There, it was Moses parting the water, and here, Gabriel took part in the wonder. Israel walked through the sea as on dry ground. The Virgin, without seed, gave birth to Christ. The sea remained impassable after the passing of Israel. The blameless Mother remained immaculate after conceiving Emmanuel. O God, the One who is and ever was and who appeared as man, have mercy on us. [GOASD]

Γεν Ηʹ, 4 – 21	Gn 8:4 – 21
Ἐκάθισεν ἡ κιβωτὸς ἐν μηνὶ τῷ ἑβδόμῳ, ἑβδόμῃ καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνός, ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη τὰ Ἀραράτ. Τὸ δὲ ὕδωρ πορευόμενον ἠλαττονοῦτο ἕως τοῦ δεκάτου μηνός. Ἐν δὲ τῷ δεκάτῳ μηνί, τῇ πρώτῃ τοῦ μηνός, ὤφθησαν αἱ κεφαλαὶ τῶν ὀρέων. Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας, ἠνέῳξε Νῶε τὴν θυρίδα τῆς κιβωτοῦ, ἣν ἐποίησε. Καὶ ἀπέστειλε τὸν κόρακα τοῦ ἰδεῖν, εἰ κεκόπακε τὸ ὕδωρ, καὶ ἐξελθών, οὐκ ἀνέστρεψεν, ἕως τοῦ ξηρανθῆναι τὸ ὕδωρ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς. Καὶ ἀπέστειλε τὴν περιστερὰν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ἰδεῖν, εἰ κεκόπακε τὸ ὕδωρ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς. Καὶ οὐχ εὑροῦσα ἡ περιστερὰ ἀνάπαυσιν τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτῆς, ὑπέστρεψε πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν κιβωτόν, ὅτι ὕδωρ ἦν ἐπὶ πᾶν τὸ πρόσωπον τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ, ἔλαβεν αὐτήν, καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὴν πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν κιβωτόν. Καὶ ἐπισχὼν ἔτι ἡμέρας ἑπτὰ ἑτέρας, πάλιν ἐξαπέστειλε τὴν περιστερὰν ἐκ τῆς κιβωτοῦ. Καὶ ἀνέστρεψε πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡ περιστερὰ τὸ πρὸς ἑσπέραν, καὶ εἶχε φύλλον ἐλαίας, κάρφος ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔγνω Νῶε, ὅτι κεκόπακε τὸ ὕδωρ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς. Καὶ ἐπισχὼν ἔτι ἡμέρας ἑπτὰ ἑτέρας, πάλιν ἐξαπέστειλε τὴν περιστεράν, καὶ οὐ προσέθετο τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι πρὸς αὐτὸν ἔτι. Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἑνὶ καὶ ἑξακοσιοστῷ ἔτει ἐν τῇ ζωῇ τοῦ Νῶε, τοῦ πρώτου μηνὸς μιᾷ τοῦ μηνός, ἐξέλιπε τὸ ὕδωρ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς. Καὶ ἀπεκάλυψε Νῶε τὴν στέγην τῆς Κιβωτοῦ, ἣν ἐποίησε, καὶ εἶδεν, ὅτι ἐξέλιπε τὸ ὕδωρ ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς γῆς. Ἐν δὲ τῷ δευτέρῳ μηνί, ἑβδόμῃ καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνός, ἐξηράνθη ἡ γῆ. Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς πρὸς Νῶε, λέγων· Ἔξελθε ἐκ τῆς κιβωτοῦ σύ, καὶ ἡ γυνή σου, καὶ οἱ υἱοί σου, καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες τῶν υἱῶν σου μετὰ σοῦ, καὶ πάντα τὰ θηρία, ὅσα ἐστὶ μετὰ σοῦ, καὶ πᾶσα σάρξ, ἀπὸ πετεινῶν ἕως κτηνῶν, καὶ πᾶν ἑρπετὸν κινούμενον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἐξάγαγε μετὰ σεαυτοῦ, καὶ αὐξάνεσθε καὶ πληθύνεσθε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. Καὶ ἐξῆλθε Νῶε, καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντα τὰ θηρία, καὶ πάντα τὰ κτήνη, καὶ πᾶν πετεινόν, καὶ πᾶν ἑρπετὸν κινούμενον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς κατὰ γένος αὐτῶν, ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τῆς κιβωτοῦ, ἐν μιᾷ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ τρίτου. Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε Νῶε θυσιαστήριον τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ ἔλαβεν ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν κτηνῶν τῶν καθαρῶν, καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν πετεινῶν τῶν καθαρῶν, καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν εἰς ὁλοκάρπωσιν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον. Καὶ ὠσφράνθη Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας.	Then the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat. And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen. So it came to pass, at the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ark he had made. Then he sent out a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters dried up from the earth. He also sent out from himself a dove, to see if the waters had receded from the face of the ground. But the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned to him in the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her, and brought her to himself in the ark. Then he waited yet another seven days, and again he sent out the dove from the ark. The dove returned to him in the evening, and behold, a freshly plucked olive leaf was in her mouth; and Noah knew the waters had receded from the earth. So he waited yet another seven days and again sent out the dove; however, she did not return to him any more. And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year of Noah’s life, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and indeed, the surface of the ground was dry. Now in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dried. Then the Lord God spoke to Noah, saying, “Go out of the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and their wives with you. Also, bring out with you every living thing of all flesh: birds and cattle and every creeping thing that moves upon the earth, so they may abound on the earth, and increase and multiply on the earth.” So Noah went out, along with his wife and his sons and their wives. Every animal, every bird, and every creeping thing that moves upon the earth, according to their kind, went out of the ark. Then Noah built an altar to God, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered whole burnt offerings on the altar. So the Lord God smelled a sweet aroma. [SAAS]

Στόμα δικαίου ἀποστάζει σοφίαν, γλῶσσα δὲ ἀδίκου ἐξολεῖται· Χείλη ἀνδρῶν δικαίων ἐπίστανται χάριτας, στόμα δὲ ἀσεβῶν καταστρέφεται. Ζυγοὶ δόλιοι βδέλυγμα ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, στάθμιον δὲ δίκαιον δεκτὸν αὐτῷ. Οὗ ἐὰν εἰσέλθῃ ὕβρις, ἐκεῖ καὶ ἀτιμία, στόμα δὲ ταπεινῶν μελετᾷ σοφίαν. Τελειότης εὐθέων ὁδηγήσει αὐτούς, καὶ ὑποσκελισμὸς ἀθετούντων προνομεύσει αὐτούς. Οὐκ ὠφελήσει ὑπάρχοντα ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θυμοῦ, δικαιοσύνη δὲ ῥύσεται ἀπὸ θανάτου. Ἀποθανὼν δίκαιος ἔλιπε μετάμελον· πρόχειρος δὲ γίνεται καὶ ἐπίχαρτος ἀσεβῶν ἀπώλεια. Δικαιοσύνη ἀμώμου ὀρθοτομεῖ ὁδούς, ἀσέβεια δὲ περιπίπτει ἀδικίᾳ. Δικαιοσύνη ἀνδρῶν ὀρθῶν ῥύσεται αὐτούς, τῇ δὲ ἀβουλίᾳ ἁλίσκονται παράνομοι. Τελευτήσαντος ἀνδρὸς δικαίου οὐκ ὄλλυται ἐλπίς, τὸ δὲ καύχημα τῶν ἀσεβῶν ὄλλυται. Δίκαιος ἐκ θήρας ἐκδύνει, ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ δὲ παραδίδοται ὁ ἀσεβής. Ἐν στόματι ἀσεβῶν παγὶς πολίταις, αἴσθησις δὲ δικαίων εὔοδος. Ἐν ἀγαθοῖς δικαίων κατώρθωται πόλις, καὶ ἐν ἀπωλείᾳ ἀσεβῶν ἀγαλλίαμα. Ἐν εὐλογίᾳ εὐθέων ὑψωθήσεται πόλις, στόματι δὲ ἀσεβῶν κατασκαφήσεται. Μυκτηρίζει πολίτας ἐνδεὴς φρενῶν, ἀνὴρ δὲ φρόνιμος ἡσυχίαν ἄγει.	The mouth of a righteous man distills wisdom, but the tongue of an unrighteous man utterly destroys. The lips of righteous men distill grace, but the mouth of the ungodly is perverse. Deceitful scales are an abomination before the Lord, but a righteous weight is acceptable to Him. Wherever arrogance enters, there also is dishonor, but the mouth of the humble meditates on wisdom. When a righteous man dies, he leaves regret, but the destruction of the ungodly is immediate and brings joy. Righteousness cuts straight and blameless paths, but ungodliness embraces wrongdoing. The righteousness of upright men delivers them, but lawless men are taken to their destruction. When a righteous man dies, his hope does not perish, but the boast of the ungodly perishes. A righteous man escapes from a snare, but the ungodly man is handed over in his place. There is a snare for citizens in the mouth of the ungodly, but the perception of the righteous is prosperous. A city stays upright in the good things of the righteous, but it is razed to the ground by the mouths of the ungodly. A man in need of discernment treats citizens with contempt, but a man of discernment keeps quiet. [SAAS]
