Proverbs 11:9-11

Proverbs 11:9 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
 
We now have someone who is going around spreading rumors and telling lies on people but are in church every time the doors are open. They are only out to destroy who ever they can. But for those of us who know the truth and walk in the wisdom and knowledge of God have nothing to fear and will be delivered. As this continues we see that when we are delivered and things are going good people rejoice because now the wicked have put in their place so the people shout. Because of the praising of God the people are blessed and exalted. But even again the wicked come in and try to destroy everything that is good and right, that is all they are concerned about. We see in Jeremiah 9:4-5 “Take ye heed every one of his neighbor, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will walk with slanders. And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.” And we read in Romans 8:1 “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” This today gives us basically the two types of people that are in the world and I pray everyone tries to be the righteous one.
