Proverbs 11:4-13

⁴Riches profit not in the day of wrath; but righteousness delivereth from death.

⁵The righteousness of the sincere shall make straight his way; but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

⁶The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them; but the faithless shall be trapped in their own crafty device.

⁷When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish, and the hope of strength perisheth.

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

⁹With his mouth the impious man destroyeth his neighbour; but through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered.

¹⁰When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth; and when the wicked perish, there is joy.

¹¹By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted; but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

¹²He that despiseth his neighbour lacketh understanding; but a man of discernment holdeth his peace.

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