Proverbs 12:7 DBY

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

⁶  The words of the wicked are a lying-in-wait for blood; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

⁷  Overthrow the wicked, and they are no [more]; but the house of the righteous shall stand.

⁸  A man is commended according to his wisdom; but he that is of a perverted heart shall be despised.

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