Proverbs 11:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷ When the wicked die, their hope perishes,
    and the expectation of the godless comes to nothing.
⁸ The righteous are delivered from trouble,
    and the wicked get into it instead.
⁹ With their mouths the godless would destroy their neighbors,
    but by knowledge the righteous are delivered.
