Proverbs 12:7-9

Darby Translation

⁷ Overthrow the wicked, and they are no [more]; but the house of the righteous shall stand.

⁸ A man is commended according to his wisdom; but he that is of a perverted heart shall be despised.

⁹ Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
