7. In the death of a wicked man, hope perisheth, And the expectation of the iniquitous hath been lost.
8. The righteous from distress is drawn out, And the wicked goeth in instead of him.
9. With the mouth a hypocrite corrupteth his friend, And by knowledge the righteous are drawn out.
10. In the good of the righteous a city exulteth, And in the destruction of the wicked [is] singing.
11. By the blessing of the upright is a city exalted, And by the mouth of the wicked thrown down.
12. Whoso is despising his neighbour lacketh heart, And a man of understanding keepeth silence.
13. A busybody is revealing secret counsel, And the faithful of spirit is covering the matter.
14. Without counsels do a people fall, And deliverance [is] in a multitude of counsellors.
