Proverbs 11:7-9

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷ When the wicked dies, his hope perishes,
    and the expectation of the godless comes to nought.
⁸ The righteous is delivered from trouble,
    and the wicked gets into it instead.
⁹ With his mouth the godless man would destroy his neighbor,
    but by knowledge the righteous are delivered.
