Proverbs 11:9-12

English Standard Version

⁹ With his mouth the godless man would destroy his neighbor,
    but by knowledge the righteous are delivered.
^10 (A)When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices,
    and when the wicked perish there are shouts of gladness.
¹¹ By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted,
    but ^(B)by the mouth of the wicked ^(C)it is overthrown.
¹² Whoever ^(D)belittles his neighbor lacks sense,
    but a man of understanding remains silent.
