Proverbs 12:6-8

New Catholic Bible

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.
⁸ A man will be praised if he exhibits good sense,
    but one with a perverse mind is despised.
