Proverbs 11:8-10

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁸ The [uncompromisingly] righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked gets into it instead.

⁹ With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge and superior discernment shall the righteous be delivered.

¹⁰ When it goes well with the [uncompromisingly] righteous, the city rejoices, but when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.
