Proverbs 11:8-14

⁸The righteous escapeth out of trouble, and the wicked shall come in his steade.

⁹An hypocrite with his mouth hurteth his neighbour: but the righteous shall be deliuered by knowledge.

¹⁰In the prosperitie of the righteous the citie reioyceth, and when the wicked perish, there is ioye.

¹¹By the blessing of the righteous, the citie is exalted: but it is subuerted by the mouth of the wicked.

¹²He that despiseth his neighbour, is destitute of wisedome: but a man of vnderstanding will keepe silence.

¹³Hee that goeth about as a slanderer, discouereth a secret: but hee that is of a faithfull heart concealeth a matter.

¹⁴Where no counsell is, the people fall: but where many counsellers are, there is health.
