Proverbs 11:9-14
New International Version
9 With their mouths the godless destroy their neighbors,
but through knowledge the righteous escape.(A)
10 When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices;(B)
when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.(C)
11 Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted,(D)
but by the mouth of the wicked it is destroyed.(E)
Proverbs 11:9-14
King James Version
9 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
12 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
13 A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
