Proverbs 12:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ The wicked are overthrown, and are not,
    but the house of the righteous will stand.

⁸ A man will be commended according to his wisdom,
    but he who is of a perverse heart will be despised.

⁹ He who is lightly esteemed and has a servant is better
    than he who honors himself and lacks bread.
