Proverbs 11:8

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

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

See the chapter Copy

The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, And the transgressor for the upright.

When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: And the hope of unjust men perisheth.

An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: But through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: But the just shall come out of trouble.

But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: He is their strength in the time of trouble.

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