Proverbs 11:9 in Context — Proverbs 11

7 Cuando muere el hombre impío, perece [su] esperanza; y la espectativa de los malos perecerá.

8 El justo es librado de la tribulación: mas el impío viene en lugar suyo.

9 El hipócrita con la boca daña á su prójimo: mas los justos son librados con la sabiduría.

10 En el bien de los justos la ciudad se alegra: mas cuando los impíos perecen, hay fiestas.

11 Por la bendición de los rectos la ciudad será engrandecida: mas por la boca de los impíos ella será trastornada.
