Proverbs 12:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 The plans of the just are right;
the designs of the wicked are deceit.[a]
6 The words of the wicked are a deadly ambush,
but the speech of the upright saves them.[b]
7 Overthrow the wicked and they are no more,
but the house of the just stands firm.
