Proverbs 11:7-9

Legacy Standard Bible

⁷ When a wicked man dies, his ^(A)hope will perish,
And the ^(B)expectation of vigorous men perishes.
⁸ The righteous is rescued from ^[a]distress,
But the wicked ^[b]takes his place.
⁹ With his ^(C)mouth the godless man corrupts his neighbor,
But through knowledge the ^(D)righteous will be rescued.
