7. When a wicked man dieth his expectation shall perish: and the hope of iniquity perisheth.
8. The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
9. With his mouth the godless man destroyeth his neighbour: 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 neighbour is void of wisdom: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
