Proverbs 12
|
1 |
Whoso loveth instruction loveth
knowledge:
|
but he that hateth reproof is brutish. |
|
|
2 |
A good man obtaineth favor of the
LORD:
|
but a man of wicked devices will he
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 lacketh
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 unto
him. |
|
|
15 |
The way of a fool is right in his
own eyes:
|
but he that hearkeneth unto 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 maketh it
stoop:
|
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 pathway thereof there is no
death. |
