Proverbs 12:7-10 Modern English Version (MEV)

7. The wicked are overthrown, and are not,but the house of the righteous will stand.

8. A man will be commended according to his wisdom,but he who is of a perverse heart will be despised.

9. He who is lightly esteemed and has a servant is betterthan he who honors himself and lacks bread.

10. A righteous man regards the life of his animal,but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
