ProverbsChapter 12 |
1 HE who loves discipline loves knowledge; but he who hates reproof is a fool. |
2 A good man obtains favor of the LORD; but a wicked one will be condemned. |
3 A man shall not be established by wickedness; but the root of the righteous shall flourish. |
4 A virtuous wife is a crown to her husband; but a wife who does evil destroys her husband like a boring-worm, and like a termite. |
5 The thoughts of the righteous are upright; but the counsels of the wicked are deceit. |
6 The counsel of the wicked is to lie in wait for the shedding of the blood; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them. |
7 The wicked shall be overthrown, and shall not be found; but the house of the righteous shall stand. |
8 A man is commended according to his wisdom; but he who lacks understanding shall be despised. |
9 Better is a poor man who serves himself than one who is proud and yet lacks bread. |
10 A righteous man regards the life of his beast; but the mercies of the wicked are suppressed. |
11 He who tills his land shall be satisfied with bread; but he who follows vain pursuits lacks understanding. |
12 The wicked desire to do evil; but the root of the righteous shall sprout. |
13 The ungodly is caught by the wickedness of his lips; but the righteous shall come out of trouble. |
14 A good man shall be satisfied with the fruits of his mouth; and the recompense of a man's hands shall be rendered to him. |
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes; but he who listens to counsel is wise. |
16 A fool's wrath is soon known; but a prudent man hides his shame. |
17 A righteous man speaks truth as it is evident; but a false witness is deceptive. |
18 There are those whose speech is like the piercing of a sword; but the tongue of the wise heals. |
19 The lips of truth are forthright; but the tongue of a lying witness is wicked. |
20 Deceit is in the heart of the wicked who plot evil; but those who give counsel of peace shall have joy. |
21 A deceitful thing is not good in the eyes of the righteous; but the wicked are filled with mischief. |
22 Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD; but those who deal truly are his delight. |
23 A prudent man is the seat of knowledge; but the heart of fools proclaims evil. |
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; but the deceitful shall be under tribute. |
25 A fearful word troubles a man's heart; but a good word makes it glad. |
26 A righteous man gives good counsel to his neighbor; but the way of the wicked shall lead them astray. |
27 The deceitful man shall not find his prey; but the substance of a diligent man is precious. |
28 In the way of righteousness is life; but the way of animosity leads to death. |
