Proverbs 11:10

JusticeFellowship and the church

8 The righteous man is delivered from trouble; in his place the wicked man goes in.

9 With his mouth the ungodly man destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous are rescued.

When the righteous thrive, the city rejoices, and when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.

11 By the blessing of the upright a city is built up, but by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down.

12 Whoever shows contempt for his neighbor lacks judgment, but a man of understanding remains silent.
