Proverbs 11:4-13 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

4. Riches shall not profit in the day of revenge: but justice shall deliver from death.

5. The justice of the upright shall make his way prosperous: and the wicked man shall fall by his own wickedness.

6. The justice of the righteous shall deliver them: and the unjust shall be caught in their own snares.

7. When the wicked man is dead, there shall be no hope any more: and the expectation of the solicitous shall perish.

8. The just is delivered out of distress: and the wicked shall be given up for him.

9. The dissembler with his mouth deceiveth his friend: but the just shall be delivered by knowledge.

10. When it goeth well with the just the city shall rejoice: and when the wicked perish there shall be praise.

11. By the blessing of the just the city shall be exalted: and by the mouth of the wicked it shall be overthrown.

12. He that despiseth his friend, is mean of heart: but the wise man will hold his peace.

13. He that walketh deceitfully, revealeth secrets: but he that is faithful, concealeth the thing committed to him by his friend.
