11 Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted,

but by the mouth of the wicked it is destroyed.

11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted:

But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

11 Upright citizens are good for a city and make it prosper,

but the talk of the wicked tears it apart.

11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted,

But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

11 Good people bless and build up their city,

but the wicked can destroy it with their words.

11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted;

But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

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

11 With the blessing of decent people a city is raised up, 

but by the words of wicked people, it is torn down. 

11 A city is built up by the blessing of the upright,

but it is torn down by the mouth of the wicked.

11 By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted,

but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

11 By the blessing of the upright, a city will be exalted,

but by the mouth of the wicked, it will be overthrown.

11 The blessing of honest people builds up a city.

But the words of sinners destroy it.

11 By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted,

But by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down.
