Proverbs 12:5-7
New American Standard Bible
5 The thoughts of the righteous are just,
But the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.
6 The (A)words of the wicked wait in ambush for blood,
But the (B)mouth of the upright will rescue them.
7 The (C)wicked are overthrown and are no more,
But the (D)house of the righteous will stand.
Proverbs 12:5-7
New Living Translation
5 The plans of the godly are just;
the advice of the wicked is treacherous.
6 The words of the wicked are like a murderous ambush,
but the words of the godly save lives.
7 The wicked die and disappear,
but the family of the godly stands firm.
