Proverbs 12:6-8
Complete Jewish Bible

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.

8 A person wins praise in keeping with his common sense,
    but a person with a warped mind is treated with contempt.
