Proverbs 12:5-7

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵ The thoughts and purposes of the [consistently] righteous are honest and reliable, but the counsels and designs of the wicked are treacherous.

⁶ The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them and the innocent ones [thus endangered].

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