Proverbs 12:7-9

World English Bible

⁷ The wicked are overthrown, and are no more,
    but the house of the righteous shall stand.
⁸ A man shall be commended according to his wisdom,
    but he who has a warped mind shall be despised.
⁹ Better is he who is little known, and has a servant,
    than he who honors himself, and lacks bread.
