With the mouth a hypocrite corrupteth his friend, And by knowledge the righteous are drawn out.

10 In the good of the righteous a city exulteth, And in the destruction of the wicked [is] singing.

11 By the blessing of the upright is a city exalted, And by the mouth of the wicked thrown down.

12 Whoso is despising his neighbour lacketh heart, And a man of understanding keepeth silence.

13 A busybody is revealing secret counsel, And the faithful of spirit is covering the matter.

14 Without counsels do a people fall, And deliverance [is] in a multitude of counsellors.

With his (A)mouth the godless person destroys his neighbor,
But through knowledge the (B)righteous will be rescued.
10 When things (C)go well for the righteous, the city rejoices,
And when the wicked perish, there is joyful shouting.
11 By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted,
But by the mouth of the wicked, it is torn down.
12 One who despises his neighbor lacks [a]sense,
But a person of understanding keeps silent.
13 One (D)who goes about as a slanderer reveals secrets,
But one who is [b]trustworthy (E)conceals a matter.
14 Where there is no (F)guidance the people fall,
But in an abundance of counselors there is [c]victory.
