Proverbs 12:3

A man shall not be established by wickedness - Evil is always variable: it has no fixed principle, except the root that is in the human heart; and even that is ever assuming new forms. Nothing is permanent but goodness; and that is unchangeable, because it comes from God. The produce of goodness is permanent, because it has God' s blessing in it: the fruit of wickedness, or the property procured by wickedness, is transitory, because it has God' s curse in it. The righteous has his root in God; and therefore he shall not be moved.
