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.
