Proverbs 11:10-12
New American Standard Bible
10 When things (A)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.
