Proverbs 11:10-12

GOD’S WORD Translation

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.
