Bible Comments

The thoughts of the righteous are right; his constant purpose is to deal justly and truly with God and with men. The counsels of the wicked are deceit; his great care and contrivance is to wrong and deceive others by fair pretences and cunning artifices.

Proverbs 12:5

5 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
