Proverbs 12:7

JusticeProtection and safety

5 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.

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

8 A man is praised according to his wisdom, but a twisted mind is despised.

9 Better to be lightly esteemed yet have a servant, than to be self-important but lack food.
