“The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.”
Refuge in righteousness: Righteousness delivers the upright, but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desires. Righteousness saves (matzelet); evil desires (tavunot) trap (tikud). The righteous person finds deliverance through moral integrity; the unfaithful person finds himself enslaved by his own appetites.
