Proverbs 12:6-8

Lexham English Bible

⁶ The words of the wicked are an ambush of blood,
    but the mouth of the upright delivers them.
⁷ The wicked are overthrown and are no more,^[a]
    but the house of the righteous shall stand.
⁸ For his mouth of good sense, a man will be recommended,
    but he who is of perverse mind^[b] will be despised.
