Proverbs 12:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 The words of the wicked are a deadly ambush,
but the speech of the upright saves them.[a]
7 Overthrow the wicked and they are no more,
but the house of the just stands firm.
8 For their good sense people are praised,
but the perverse of heart are despised.[b]
