Proverbs 12:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ The words of wicked people are like a trap that will kill good people.
    But the words of honest people will save people's lives.
⁷ Wicked people soon come to an end and they disappear.
    But the families of righteous people will continue to be strong.
⁸ People will praise a wise person, as much as his wisdom deserves.
    But no one will respect a person who is stupid.
