Proverbs 12:5-7
Contemporary English Version

5 Good people have kind thoughts,
but you should never trust
    the advice of someone evil.
6 Bad advice is a deadly trap,
but good advice
    is like a shield.
7 Once the wicked are defeated,
    they are gone forever,
but no one who obeys God
    will ever be thrown down.
