Proverbs 11:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ When a wicked man dies, all his expectations die with him,
    and the hope he placed in his riches comes to nought.
⁸ The righteous man escapes affliction,
    and the wicked man incurs it instead.
⁹ With his mouth the godless man seeks to ruin his neighbor,
    but knowledge enables the righteous to be delivered.
