Proverbs 11:9-14
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.
13 Whoever (E)goes about slandering reveals secrets,
but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered.
14 Where there is (F)no guidance, a people falls,
(G)but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.
Proverbs 11:24-30
English Standard Version
24 (A)One gives (B)freely, yet grows all the richer;
another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.
25 (C)Whoever brings blessing (D)will be enriched,
and (E)one who waters will himself be watered.
26 (F)The people curse him who holds back grain,
but (G)a blessing is on the head of him who (H)sells it.
27 Whoever diligently seeks good seeks favor,[a]
but evil comes to (I)him who searches for it.
28 Whoever (J)trusts in his riches will fall,
but the righteous will (K)flourish like a green leaf.
29 Whoever (L)troubles his own household will (M)inherit the wind,
and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.
30 The fruit of the righteous is (N)a tree of life,
and whoever (O)captures souls is wise.
