Proverbs 12:7 BBE

⁵  The purposes of upright men are right, but the designs of evil-doers are deceit.

⁶  The words of sinners are destruction for the upright; but the mouth of upright men is their salvation.

⁷  Evil-doers are overturned and never seen again, but the house of upright men will keep its place.

⁸  A man will be praised in the measure of his wisdom, but a wrong-minded man will be looked down on.

⁹  He who is of low position and has a servant, is better than one who has a high opinion of himself and is in need of bread.
