2 A good man obtaineth favor of the Lord:but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
3 A man shall not be established by wickedness:but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband:but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
5 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
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.
