Proverbs 11:6-13

⁶The righteousness of the upright delivereth them; But transgressors are ensnared in their own mischief.

⁷When the wicked man dieth, his hope cometh to an end; Yea, the expectation of the unjust cometh to an end.

⁸The righteous man is delivered from trouble, And the wicked cometh into it in his stead.

⁹By his mouth the vile man destroyeth his neighbor; But by the knowledge of the righteous are men delivered.

¹⁰When it goeth well with the righteous, 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 who despiseth his neighbor is void of understanding; A man of discernment holdeth his peace.

¹³He who goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets; But he who is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter.
