Proverbs 11:7-12

⁷At the death of an upright man his hope does not come to an end, but the hope of the evil-doer comes to destruction.

⁸The upright man is taken out of trouble, and in his place comes the sinner.

⁹With his mouth the evil man sends destruction on his neighbour; but through knowledge the upright are taken out of trouble.

¹⁰When things go well for the upright man, all the town is glad; at the death of sinners, there are cries of joy.

¹¹By the blessing of the upright man the town is made great, but it is overturned by the mouth of the evil-doer.

¹²He who has a poor opinion of his neighbour has no sense, but a wise man keeps quiet.
