Inspirational proverb: With their mouths the godless destroy their neighbors, but through knowledge the righteous escape

The Bible teaches us that spiritual knowledge is power and salvation in the hands of the righteous man, through an inspirational proverb: "With their mouths the godless destroy their neighbors, but through knowledge the righteous escape" Proverbs 11:9.
And an example of this, was a story of the prophet Daniel in the Bible interpreting the dreams of the tyrant of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel was a young man of Jewish origin who, by order of Nebuchadnezzar, lived in the royal court, and God had endowed this young man with great spiritual gifts and much knowledge about the world.
Nebuchadnezzar was an arrogant man, and deeply suspicious, and the Bible tells us that he had dreams:
"In the second year of his reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; his mind was troubled and he could not sleep. So the king summoned the magicians, enchanters, sorcerers and astrologers to tell him what he had dreamed" Daniel 2:1-2.
But it happened that the wise men and soothsayers told the tyrant of Babylon that they could not interpret the dream, nor give him any kind of answer, because of the information that the tyrant provided them, and that is why the Bible gave us Nebuchadnezzar's answer:
"This made the king so angry and furious that he ordered the execution of all the wise men of Babylon. So the decree was issued to put the wise men to death, and men were sent to look for Daniel and his friends to put them to death" Daniel 2:12-13.
And so, it was that Daniel intervened, and gave the correct answer to the King, because God enlightened Daniel and made his secret designs known to him. In Daniel, the teaching of an ancient Psalm was fulfilled: "For the Lord knows the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly shall perish" Psalm1:6.
This story shows us that God despite the impiety of many, and in particular those who hold power; God gives knowledge and gifts to those who fear him and live righteously; for Daniel the knowledge of God was salvation and escape from death, thus fulfilling what is expressed by the proverb.
