Proverbs 11:9 In-Context

7 When the wicked die, their hope perishes. Yes, any hope based on money perishes.
8 The righteous are saved from distress, and the wicked take their place.
9 The godless destroy their neighbors by their words, but the righteous are saved by their knowledge.
10 When the righteous succeed, a city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.
11 A city is honored by the blessing of the virtuous; it is destroyed by the words of the wicked.
