Exegesis
The conjunction û {וּ | û} ‘and’ introduces a contrasting subject noun tzedakah {צְדָקָה | ṣᵉdəqāh} ‘righteousness’ followed by its Hiphil verb tatzil {תַּצִּיל | taṣṣîl} ‘it delivers’. Hebrew parallelism juxtaposes the ineffectiveness of material wealth with the saving power of moral virtue. The formal rendition preserves Hebrew word order to reflect this thematic balance, while the dynamic version adopts an idiomatic English sequence to emphasize personal relevance and ethical action.
In context — Proverbs 11:4
Wealth will not profit on the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.
