7. When a wrong man dies, expectancy perishes, And the ambition of the wicked shall be lost.
8. The righteous is delivered from distress, And the wrong one takes his place.
9. The defiled one destroys his neighbour with his mouth, But the righteous is delivered by knowledge.
10. When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices. And when the wrong perish, there is shouting.
11. By the blessing of the straight the city is exalted, But by the mouth of the wrong it is overthrown.
12. He who lacks heart despises his neighbour, But a man of understanding keeps silence.
