Proverbs 11:8

American Standard Version (1901)

The righteous is delivered out of trouble; And the wicked cometh in his stead.

See the chapter Copy

The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; And the treacherous cometh in the stead of the upright.

When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish; And the hope of iniquity perisheth.

With his mouth the godless man destroyeth his neighbor; But through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered.

In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; But the righteous shall come out of trouble.

But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah: He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.

Then king Darius wrote unto all the peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied unto you.
