Proverbs 11:4-14

4 Wealth is not profitable on a day of wrath, but righteousness rescues from death.[a]
5 The righteousness of the blameless clears his path, but the wicked person will fall because of his wickedness.
6 The righteousness of the upright rescues them, but the treacherous are trapped by their own desires.[b]
7 When the wicked dies, his expectation comes to nothing, and hope placed in wealth[c] [d] vanishes.[e]
8 The righteous is rescued from trouble; in his place, the wicked goes in.[f]
9 With his mouth the ungodly destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous are rescued.
10 When the righteous thrive, a city rejoices, and when the wicked die, there is joyful shouting.
11 A city is built up by the blessing of the upright,[g] but it is torn down by the mouth of the wicked.[h]
12 Whoever shows contempt for his neighbor lacks sense, but a man with understanding keeps silent.[i]
13 A gossip goes around revealing a secret, but the trustworthy keeps a confidence.[j]
14 Without guidance, people fall, but with many counselors there is deliverance.[k]
