Proverbs 12:7-9

American Standard Version

^7 [a]The wicked are overthrown, and are not;
But the house of the righteous shall stand.
⁸ A man shall be commended according to his wisdom;
But he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
⁹ Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant,
Than he that honoreth himself, and lacketh bread.
