Proverbs 11:6-11

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.
