દુષ્ટ માણસ પોતાની વાણીથી પોતાના પડોશીઓનો નાશ કરે છે, પરંતુ ન્યાયી તેના ડહાપણ વડે બીજાઓને ઉગારે છે.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन ११:९
भक्तिहीन जन अपने पड़ोसी को अपने मुँह की बात से बिगाड़ता है, परन्तु धर्मी लोग ज्ञान के द्वारा बचते हैं।

In context

7When a wicked man dies, hope perishes, and expectation of power comes to nothing.

8A righteous person is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked takes his place.

9With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor, but the righteous will be delivered through knowledge.

10When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. When the wicked perish, there is shouting.

11By the blessing of the upright, the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
