6 Decent people are saved by their righteousness,but treacherous people are trapped by their own greed.
7 At the death of a wicked person, hope vanishes.Moreover, his confidence in strength vanishes.
8 A righteous person is rescued from trouble,and a wicked person takes his place.
9 With his talk a godless person can ruin his neighbor,but righteous people are rescued by knowledge.
10 When righteous people prosper, a city is glad.When wicked people die, there are songs of joy.
11 With the blessing of decent people a city is raised up,but by the words of wicked people, it is torn down.
12 A person who despises a neighbor has no sense,but a person who has understanding keeps quiet.
