7 When the wicked dies, his hope perishes, and the hope of the strong vanishes.
8 The righteous is rescued from trouble. Instead it comes on the wicked.
9 With his mouth the ungodly destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous will be delivered.
10 When the righteous do well, a city rejoices. When the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.
11 Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is destroyed.
12 One who despises his neighbor lacks sense, but one with discernment remains silent.
13 A gossip reveals secrets, but one who is trustworthy conceals a matter.
