Proverbs 11:4-14

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

⁵The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

⁶The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.

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

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

⁹A hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbor: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

¹⁰When the righteous prosper, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.

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

¹²He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbor: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.

¹³A tale-bearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.

¹⁴Where no counsel is , the people fall: but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.
