Proverbs 11:8-10
EasyEnglish Bible
8 Righteous people escape from trouble.
The trouble happens to wicked people instead.
9 People who do not respect God say things that destroy their friends.
But the knowledge that righteous people have keeps them safe.
10 When righteous people do well, everyone in the city is happy.
And people shout with joy when wicked people die.
Proverbs 11:8-10
English Standard Version
8 (A)The righteous is delivered from trouble,
and the wicked walks into it instead.
9 With his mouth the godless man would destroy his neighbor,
but by knowledge the righteous are delivered.
10 (B)When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices,
and when the wicked perish there are shouts of gladness.
