Proverbs 12:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ Once the wicked are overthrown, they are no more,
    but the house of the righteous remains firm.
⁸ A man will be praised if he exhibits good sense,
    but one with a perverse mind is despised.
⁹ It is better to be a laborer and have food to eat
    than to put on airs and have an empty stomach.
