PROVERBS 11:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.”
Destruction by the mouth: With their mouths the godless destroy their neighbors, but through knowledge the righteous escape. The godless person's speech (siphte chanef) destroys (yashibun). The righteous person's knowledge delivers. This indicates that destructive speech is a weapon the wicked use against neighbors. The righteous, empowered by knowledge, escape this trap.
