Proverbs 11:11 - John Wesley's Notes

Proverbs 11:11

Compare all

9 The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor,
But through knowledge the righteous will be delivered.

10 ^aWhen it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices;
And when the wicked perish, there is jubilation.

11 By the blessing of the upright the city is ^aexalted,
But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

12 He who¹ is devoid of wisdom despises his neighbor,
But a man of understanding holds his peace.

13 ^aA talebearer reveals secrets,
But he who is of a faithful spirit ^bconceals a matter.
