6 ^aThe words of the wicked are, “Lie in wait for blood,”
^bBut the mouth of the upright will deliver them.

7 ^aThe wicked are overthrown and are no more,
But the house of the righteous will stand.

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

But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
