Proverbs 11:7-9

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁷ When the wicked man dies, his hope [for the future] perishes; and the expectation of the godless comes to nothing.

⁸ The [uncompromisingly] righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked gets into it instead.

⁹ With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge and superior discernment shall the righteous be delivered.
