7. When a person dies, hope is destroyed;expectation pinned on wealth is destroyed.
8. The just are rescued from a tight spot,but the wicked fall into it instead.
9. By a word the impious ruin their neighbors,but through their knowledge the just are rescued.
10. When the just prosper, the city rejoices;when the wicked perish, there is jubilation.
11. Through the blessing of the upright the city is exalted,but through the mouth of the wicked it is overthrown.
12. Whoever reviles a neighbor lacks sense,but the intelligent keep silent.
