Proverbs 12:6-8

Amplified Bible

⁶ 
The [malevolent] words of the wicked lie in wait for [innocent] blood [to slander],
But the mouth of the upright will rescue and protect them.
⁷ 
The wicked are overthrown [by their evil] and are no more,
But the house of the [consistently] righteous will stand [securely].
⁸ 
A man will be commended according to his insight and sound judgment,
But the one who is of a perverse mind will be despised.
