Proverbs

⁷When a wicked man dieth his expectation shall perish: and the hope of iniquity perisheth. ⁸The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead. ⁹With his mouth the godless man destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the righteous be 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 wisdom: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace. ¹³He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
