Proverbs 11:6-12 God's Word Translation (GW)

6. Decent people are saved by their righteousness,but treacherous people are trapped by their own greed.

7. At the death of a wicked person, hope vanishes.Moreover, his confidence in strength vanishes.

8. A righteous person is rescued from trouble,and a wicked person takes his place.

9. With his talk a godless person can ruin his neighbor,but righteous people are rescued by knowledge.

10. When righteous people prosper, a city is glad.When wicked people die, there are songs of joy.

11. With the blessing of decent people a city is raised up,but by the words of wicked people, it is torn down.

12. A person who despises a neighbor has no sense,but a person who has understanding keeps quiet.
