Proverbs 12:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ The words of those who are evil hide and wait to spill people’s blood.
    But the speech of those who are honest saves them from traps like that.

⁷ Sinners are destroyed and taken away.
    But the houses of godly people stand firm.

⁸ A person is praised for how wise they are.
    But people hate anyone who has a twisted mind.
