6The words of ungodly men are crafty; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
7When the ungodly is overthrown, he vanishes away; but the houses of the just remain.
8The mouth of an understanding man is praised by a man; but he that is dull of heart is had in derision.
9Better is a man in dishonor serving himself, than one honouring himself and lacking bread.
Proverbs 12
