Proverbs 12:7-9

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁷ The wicked are overthrown and perish,^(A)
but the house of the righteous will stand.^(B)

⁸ A man is praised for his insight,
but a twisted mind is despised.

⁹ Better to be dishonored, yet have a servant,
than to act important but have no food.^(C)
