Proverbs 12:6-8

Modern English Version

⁶ The words of the wicked are, “Lie in wait for blood,”
    but the mouth of the upright will deliver them.

⁷ The wicked are overthrown, and are not,
    but the house of the righteous will stand.

⁸ A man will be commended according to his wisdom,
    but he who is of a perverse heart will be despised.
