Proverbs 12:6-8

Revised Standard Version

⁶ The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood,
    but the mouth of the upright delivers men.
⁷ The wicked are overthrown and are no more,
    but the house of the righteous will stand.
⁸ A man is commended according to his good sense,
    but one of perverse mind is despised.
