Proverbs 11:9-11

International Standard Version

⁹By what he says, the godless person can destroy his neighbor,
but through knowledge the righteous escape.

¹⁰The city rejoices when the righteous prosper,
and when the wicked perish there is jubilation.
¹¹Through the blessing of the righteous a city is built up,
but what the wicked say tears it down.
