Proverbs 12:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ Wicked people soon come to an end and they disappear.
    But the families of righteous people will continue to be strong.
⁸ People will praise a wise person, as much as his wisdom deserves.
    But no one will respect a person who is stupid.
⁹ It is better to be a humble person who has a servant
    than a proud person who has no food to eat.
