Proverbs 11:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 11:8

6 The righteousness of the upright will deliver them,
But the unfaithful will be caught by their lust.

7 When a wicked man dies, his expectation will ^aperish,
And the hope of the unjust perishes.

8 ^aThe righteous is delivered from trouble,
And it comes to the wicked instead.

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.
