Proverbs 12:6-13 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

6. The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

7. The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.

8. A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

9. He that is despised, and has a servant, is better than he that honors himself, and lacks bread.

10. A righteous man regards the life of his animal: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

11. He that tills his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that follows vain persons is void of understanding.

12. The wicked desires the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yields fruit.

13. The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall escape from trouble.
