Proverbs 12:5

Justice

3 A man cannot be established through wickedness, but the righteous cannot be uprooted.

4 A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but she who causes shame is like decay in his bones.

The plans of the righteous are just, but the counsel of the wicked leads to deceit.

6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, but the speech of the upright rescues them.

7 The wicked are overthrown and perish, but the house of the righteous will stand.
