Context of Proverbs 11:10
8The righteous is rescued from trouble. Instead it comes on the wicked. 9With his mouth the ungodly destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous will be delivered. When the righteous do well, a city rejoices. When the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy. 11Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is destroyed. 12One who despises his neighbor lacks sense, but one with discernment remains silent.
