Proverbs 11:11

In context

9With his mouth the godless destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous are rescued. 10When it goes well with the righteous, the town rejoices; when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy. 11By the blessing of the upright a town is raised up, but by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down. 12Whoever belittles his neighbor lacks sense, but a man of understanding keeps quiet. 13Whoever goes about as a gossip reveals a secret, but the trustworthy in spirit keeps a matter hidden.
