Proverbs 11:10-12

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁰ When the righteous thrive, a city rejoices,^(A)
and when the wicked die, there is joyful shouting.

¹¹ A city is built up by the blessing of the upright,^(B)
but it is torn down by the mouth of the wicked.^(C)

¹² Whoever shows contempt for his neighbor lacks sense,
but a man with understanding keeps silent.^(D)
