5 The thoughts of the righteous are just; the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.
6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, but the mouth of the upright delivers them.
7 The wicked are overthrown and are no more, but the house of the righteous will stand.
If there was ever a theme to Proverbs, it's that the wise/righteous are good for themselves and others. And that the unwise/wicked are bad for themselves and others. One seeks to improve the world. The other seeks to take it down with themselves. For that reason the first group is able to hold their life together.
