Proverbs 11:8-9

Both verses explain that a good person can avoid troubles.

In verse 8, God cares about a good man. But an evil man will suffer.

Verse 9 explains how a good man can avoid trouble. He is wise, because he has studied many things. His knowledge protects him. He is safer than someone who knows nothing.

However, an evil man, who does not know God, can be dangerous. Even his neighbour can suffer.
