A man is praised according to his good sense, but one with a warped heart is despised.
In context
6The words of the wicked are an ambush for blood, but the mouth of the upright rescues them. 7The wicked are overthrown and are no more, but the house of the righteous will stand. 8A man is praised according to his good sense, but one with a warped heart is despised. 9Better to be lightly regarded and have a servant than to play the great man and lack bread. 10The righteous cares for the life of his animal, but the compassion of the wicked is cruel.
