8The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
9With his mouth a hypocrite destroyeth his neighbour; but through knowledge are the righteous 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 that despiseth his neighbour is void of heart; but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
13He that goeth about talebearing revealeth secrets; but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
