Proverbs 12:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ God overthrows the wicked, and they are not. But the house of the righteous shall stand.

⁸ A man shall be commended for his wisdom. But the perverse of heart shall be despised.

⁹ He who is despised, and has his own servant, is better than he who boasts of himself, and lacks bread.
