Proverbs 12:6-10

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁶ The words of the wicked are a deadly ambush,
    but the speech of the upright delivers them.
⁷ The wicked are overthrown and are no more,
    but the house of the righteous will stand.
⁸ One is commended for good sense,
    but a perverse mind is despised.
⁹ Better to be despised and have a servant,
    than to be self-important and lack food.
¹⁰ The righteous know the needs of their animals,
    but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.
