Proverbs 11:7-9

7 When a wicked person dies, he has no hope for anything good.
    Everything that he hoped his strength would give him disappears!

    The trouble happens to wicked people instead.
9 People who do not respect God say things that destroy their friends.
    But the knowledge that righteous people have keeps them safe.
