Proverbs 11:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

⁹ People who do not respect God say things that destroy their friends.
    But the knowledge that righteous people have keeps them safe.
¹⁰ When righteous people do well, everyone in the city is happy.
    And people shout with joy when wicked people die.
¹¹ A city becomes great when honest men bring God's blessing to it.
    But when wicked people give bad advice, they will destroy the city.
