Proverbs 12:5-10
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 12

5The thoughts of the righteous are just, But the counsels of the wicked are deceitful. 6The words of the wicked wait in ambush for blood, But the mouth of the upright will rescue them. 7The wicked are overthrown and are no more, But the house of the righteous will stand. 8A person will be praised according to his insight, But one of perverse mind will be despised. 9Better is one who is lightly esteemed and has a servant, Than one who honors himself and lacks bread. 10A righteous person has regard for the life of his animal, But even the compassion of the wicked is cruel.
King James Version

6The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
7The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
8A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
9He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
10A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
