Proverbs 12:6-8

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁶ The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them and the innocent ones [thus endangered].

⁷ The wicked are overthrown and are not, but the house of the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall stand.

⁸ A man shall be commended according to his Wisdom [godly Wisdom, which is comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God], but he who is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
