Proverbs 11:9-11

New Living Translation

⁹With their words, the godless destroy their friends,
but knowledge will rescue the righteous.

¹⁰The whole city celebrates when the godly succeed;
they shout for joy when the wicked die.

¹¹Upright citizens are good for a city and make it prosper,
but the talk of the wicked tears it apart.
