Proverbs 12:5-7

New Catholic Bible

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.
⁷ Once the wicked are overthrown, they are no more,
    but the house of the righteous remains firm.
