Proverbs 12:7-9

The Voice

⁷ The wrongdoers are overthrown—no one is left!
    But the house of the right-living remains strong.
⁸ A person is commended for expressing insight,
    but a perverted heart is despised.
⁹ It is better to be overlooked and have a servant
    than to be pretentious and have nothing to eat.
