Proverbs 22:12

"The eyes of Jehovah preserve him that hath knowledge; But he overthroweth the words of the treacherous man."

"This first clause says that God oversees and protects the man who knows God and walks in his ways, and uses his means and abilities for the good of others."[14] The second clause means that, "God frustrates the intentions of the treacherous man by turning them in another direction."[15] It is of interest that the Septuagint renders the passage thus: "The eyes of the Lord preserve discretion; but the transgressor despises wise words."[16]
