Proverbs 11:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ With their words ungodly people destroy their neighbors.
    But those who do what is right escape because of their knowledge.

¹⁰ When those who do right succeed, their city is glad.
    When those who do wrong die, people shout for joy.

¹¹ The blessing of honest people builds up a city.
    But the words of sinners destroy it.
