Proverbs 11:9

The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them,

but the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires.

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.

When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices.

When the wicked perish, there is shouting.

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.
