Proverbs 11:7-9

American Standard Version

⁷ When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish;
And the hope of ^[a]iniquity perisheth.
⁸ The righteous is delivered out of trouble;
And the wicked cometh in his stead.
⁹ With his mouth the godless man destroyeth his neighbor;
But through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered.
