Proverbs 12:7-9

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁷ The wicked are overthrown and are not, but the house of the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall stand.

⁸ A man shall be commended according to his Wisdom [godly Wisdom, which is comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God], but he who is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

⁹ Better is he who is lightly esteemed but works for his own support than he who assumes honor for himself and lacks bread.
