Proverbs 11:9
King James VersionSource notes
“An hypocrite with mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.”
Context
6The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in naughtiness.
7When a wicked man dieth, expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust perisheth.
8The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
9An hypocrite with mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
10When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, shouting.
11By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
12He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
