The Proverbs

Chapter 12

1

Whoso loveth6 instruction loveth6 knowledge: but he that hateth6 reproof [is] brutish.

2

A good [man] obtaineth55 favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.55

3

A man shall not be established11 by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.11

4

A virtuous woman [is] a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed56 [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 wait2 for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver55 them.

7

The wicked are overthrown,2 and [are] not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.4

8

A man shall be commended29 according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse12 heart shall be despised.

9

[He that is] despised,12 and hath a servant, [is] better than he that honoureth102 himself, and lacketh bread.

10

A righteous [man] regardeth6 the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked [are] cruel.

11

He that tilleth6 his land shall be satisfied4 with bread: but he that followeth18 vain [persons is] void of understanding.

12

The wicked desireth1 the net of evil [men]: but the root of the righteous yieldeth4 [fruit].

13

The wicked is snared by the transgression of [his] lips: but the just shall come out4 of trouble.

14

A man shall be satisfied4 with good by the fruit of [his] mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered55 7725 4 unto him.

15

The way of a fool [is] right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth6 unto counsel [is] wise.

16

A fool's wrath is presently known:11 but a prudent [man] covereth6 shame.

17

[He that] speaketh55 truth sheweth forth55 righteousness: but a false witness deceit.

18

There is that speaketh6 like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise [is] health.

19

The lip of truth shall be established11 for ever: but a lying tongue [is] but for a moment.55

20

Deceit [is] in the heart of them that imagine6 evil: but to the counsellors6 of peace [is] joy.

21

There shall no evil happen29 to the just: but the wicked shall be filled1 with mischief.

22

Lying lips [are] abomination to the LORD: but they that deal6 truly [are] his delight.

23

A prudent man concealeth6 knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth4 foolishness.

24

The hand of the diligent shall bear rule:4 but the slothful shall be under tribute.

25

Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop:55 but a good word maketh it glad.17

26

The righteous [is] more excellent55 than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth55 them.

27

The slothful [man] roasteth4 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 pathway 1870 [thereof there is] no death.
