Proverbs 12:6-8

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁶ The words of the wicked are a deadly ambush,^(A)
but the speech of the upright rescues them.^(B)

⁷ The wicked are overthrown and perish,^(C)
but the house of the righteous will stand.^(D)

⁸ A man is praised for his insight,
but a twisted mind is despised.
