8. The righteous is delivered out of trouble, And the wicked cometh in his stead.
9. With his mouth the godless man destroyeth his neighbor; But through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered.
10. When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth; And when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
11. By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted; But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
12. He that despiseth his neighbor is void of wisdom; But a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
13. He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets; But he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter.
14. Where no wise guidance is, the people falleth; But in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
