Proverbs 11:9-11

New Catholic Bible

⁹ With his mouth the godless man seeks to ruin his neighbor,
    but knowledge enables the righteous to be delivered.
¹⁰ The city rejoices when the upright prosper,
    and when the wicked are ruined, there is exultation.
¹¹ Through the blessing of the righteous a city is raised,
    but it is destroyed by the mouth of the wicked.
