Proverbs 11:7-13 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

7. When a wicked man dies, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perishes.

8. The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked comes in his stead.

9. A hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

10. When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices: 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 is void of wisdom despises his neighbor: but a man of understanding holds his peace.

13. A talebearer reveals secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit conceals the matter.
