Proverbs 11:10

When a wicked man dies, hope perishes,

and expectation of power comes to nothing.

A righteous person is delivered out of trouble,

and the wicked takes his place.

With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor,

but the righteous will be delivered through knowledge.

By the blessing of the upright, the city is exalted,

but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

One who despises his neighbor is void of wisdom,

but a man of understanding holds his peace.

One who brings gossip betrays a confidence,

but one who is of a trustworthy spirit is one who keeps a secret.
