8. The righteous is delivered from trouble,and the wicked walks into it instead.
9. With his mouth the godless man would destroy his neighbor,but by knowledge the righteous are delivered.
10. When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices,and when the wicked perish there are shouts of gladness.
11. By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted,but by the mouth of the wicked it is overthrown.
12. Whoever belittles his neighbor lacks sense,but a man of understanding remains silent.
13. Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets,but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered.
