Proverbs 11:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸Those who do right are saved from trouble.
But trouble comes on those who do wrong.

⁹With their words ungodly people destroy their neighbors.
But those who do what is right escape because of their knowledge.

¹⁰When those who do right succeed, their city is glad.
When those who do wrong die, people shout for joy.
