Proverbs 12:5-13

⁵The thoughts of the righteous are right; but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.

⁶The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

⁷The wicked are overthrown, and are not; but the house of the righteous shall stand.

⁸A man shall be commended according to his intelligence; but he that is of a distorted understanding shall be despised.

⁹Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, than he that playeth the man of rank, and lacketh bread.

¹⁰A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast; but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

¹¹He that tilleth his ground shall have plenty of bread; but he that followeth after vain things is void of understanding.

¹²The wicked desireth the prey of evil men; but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.

¹³In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; but the righteous cometh out of trouble.
