PROVERBS 12:6-9

⁶The words of the wicked are of lying 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 wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

⁹Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
