Proverbs 12:5-7

Complete Jewish Bible

⁵ The plans of the righteous are just,
    but the schemes of the wicked are deceitful.
⁶ The words of the wicked are a deadly ambush,
    but the speech of the upright rescues them.
⁷ Once the wicked are down, it’s the end of them;
    but the house of the upright endures.
