Proverbs 12:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ Wicked people ·die [are overturned] and they are no more,
but a ·good [righteous] person’s ·family [^Lhouse] ·continues [endures].

⁸ The ·wisdom [insight] of the wise wins praise,
but there is ·no respect [shame] for the ·stupid [warped; distressed mind/heart].

⁹ A person who is ·not important [belittled; of low regard; ordinary] but has a servant is better off
than someone who ·acts [or is thought] ·important [honorable] but has no food.
