The Proverbs

 

Chapter 12

 

 

1.

 

Whoever loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

    
 
 

2.

 

A good man obtaineth favor from the LORD: but a man of wicked devices he will condemn.

    
 
 

3.

 

A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

    
 
 

4.

 

A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

    
 
 

5.

 

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

    
 
 

6.

 

The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

    
 
 

7.

 

The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.

    
 
 

8.

 

A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

    
 
 

9.

 

He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoreth himself, and is destitute of bread.

    
 
 

10.

 

A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

    
 
 

11.

 

He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.

    
 
 

12.

 

The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.

    
 
 

13.

 

The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.

    
 
 

14.

 

A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit 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 that hearkeneth to counsel is wise.

    
 
 

16.

 

A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.

    
 
 

17.

 

He that speaketh truth showeth forth righteousness: but a false witness, deceit.

    
 
 

18.

 

There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.

    
 
 

19.

 

The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

    
 
 

20.

 

Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counselors of peace is joy.

    
 
 

21.

 

There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.

    
 
 

22.

 

Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.

    
 
 

23.

 

A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.

    
 
 

24.

 

The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.

    
 
 

25.

 

Heaviness in the heart of man depresseth it: but a good word maketh it glad.

    
 
 

26.

 

The righteous is more excellent than his neighbor: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.

    
 
 

27.

 

The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.

    
 
 

28.

 

In the way of righteousness is life; and in the path of it there is no death.
