Verse 9 is found in chapter 11 of Proverbs. These proverbs explore the communal impact of words and individual conduct. The wicked can destroy a neighbor through his mouth, while the knowledge of the righteous brings deliverance. A city rejoices when the upright prosper and mourns when evil dominates. The passage also insists on the moral certainty that those who sow wickedness cannot regard their conduct as irrelevant before God.

Durch den Mund des Heuchlers wird sein Nächster verderbt; aber die Gerechten merken's und werden erlöst.

Par sa bouche l'impie perd son prochain, Mais les justes sont délivrés par la science.
L’ipocrito corrompe il suo prossimo con la sua bocca; Ma i giusti ne son liberati per conoscimento
O hipócrita com a boca destrói o seu próximo, mas os justos se libertam pelo conhecimento.
不虔敬的人用口敗壞鄰舍; 義人卻因知識得救。
