Proverbs 11:4-13

⁴Wealth cannot profit on the day of wrath; but righteousness deliver from death.

⁵The righteousness of the perfect maketh even his way; but by his own wickedness will the wicked fall.

⁶The righteousness of the upright will deliver them; but through their own sinful desires are the treacherous caught.

⁷When a wicked man dieth, his hope vanisheth; and the expectation of his children is lost.

⁸The righteous is delivered out of distress, and the wicked cometh in his stead.

⁹With his mouth doth the hypocrite destroy his neighbor; but through knowledge are the righteous delivered.

¹⁰When it goeth well with the righteous, the town rejoiceth loudly: and when the wicked perish, there is joyful shouting.

¹¹Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted; but through the mouth of the wicked it is pulled down.

¹²He that despiseth his neighbor is void of sense; but a man of understanding maintaineth silence.

¹³He that walketh about as talebearer revealeth secrets; but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
