Proverbs 12:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ An excellent woman is her husband’s crown.
    But a wife who brings shame is like sickness in his bones.

⁵ The plans of godly people are right.
    But the advice of sinners will lead you the wrong way.

⁶ The words of those who are evil hide and wait to spill people’s blood.
    But the speech of those who are honest saves them from traps like that.
