6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but they that deal treacherously shall be taken in their own mischief.
7 When a wicked man dieth his expectation shall perish: and the hope of iniquity perisheth.
8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
9 With his mouth the godless man destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered.
10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
12 He that despiseth his neighbour is void of wisdom: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
