6The righteousness of the upright delivereth them, And in mischief the treacherous are captured.
7In the death of a wicked man, hope perisheth, And the expectation of the iniquitous hath been lost.
8The righteous from distress is drawn out, And the wicked goeth in instead of him.
9With the mouth a hypocrite corrupteth his friend, And by knowledge the righteous are drawn out.
10In the good of the righteous a city exulteth, And in the destruction of the wicked is singing.
11By the blessing of the upright is a city exalted, And by the mouth of the wicked thrown down.
