The memory of the righteous is a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot.
In context
5The one who gathers in summer is a prudent son; the one who sleeps through harvest is a son who brings shame. 6Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. 7The memory of the righteous is a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot. 8The wise in heart accept commandments, but the senseless babbler comes to ruin. 9Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever makes his ways crooked will be found out.
