Proverbs 12:7-9

New American Standard Bible

⁷ The ^(A)wicked are overthrown and are no more,
But the ^(B)house of the righteous will stand.
⁸ A person will be praised according to his insight,
But one of perverse ^[a]mind will be despised.
⁹ Better is one who is lightly esteemed and has a servant,
Than one who honors himself and lacks bread.
