Proverbs 12:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ A good wife is her husband’s crown,
    but one who disgraces him is like decay in his bones.
⁵ The aims of the righteous are honorable,
    but the schemes of the wicked are full of deceit.
⁶ The words of the wicked are snares to shed blood,
    but those of the upright keep them safe.
