Proverbs 11:9-12 American Standard Version (ASV)

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.
