The Book of Proverbs
Chapter 12
 1 |
He that loveth correction, loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof, is foolish. |
2 |
He that is good, shall draw grace from the Lord: but he that trusteth in his own devices, doth wickedly. |
3 |
Man shall not be strengthened by wickedness: and the root of the just shall not be moved. |
4 |
A diligent woman is a crown to her husband: and she that doth things worthy of confusion, is as rottenness in his bones. |
5 |
The thoughts of the just are judgments: and the counsels of the wicked are deceitful. |
6 |
The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood: the mouth of the just shall deliver them. |
7 |
Turn the wicked, and they shall not be: but the house of the just shall stand firm. |
8 |
A man shall be known by his learning: but he that is vain and foolish, shall be exposed to contempt. |
9 |
Better is the poor man that provideth for himself, than he that is glorious and wanteth bread. |
10 |
The just regardeth the lives of his beasts: but the bowels of the wicked are cruel. |
11 |
He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that pursueth idleness is very foolish. |
12 |
He that is delighted in passing his time over wine, leaveth a reproach in his strong holds. |
12 |
The desire of the wicked is the fortification of evil men: but the root of the just shall prosper. |
13 |
For the sins of the lips ruin draweth nigh to the evil man: but the just shall escape out of distress. |
14 |
By the fruit of his own mouth shall a man be filled with good things, and according to the works of his hands it shall be repaid him. |
15 |
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsels. |
16 |
A fool immediately sheweth his anger: but he that dissembleth injuries is wise. |
17 |
He that speaketh that which he knoweth, sheweth forth justice: but he that lieth, is a deceitful witness. |
18 |
There is that promiseth, and is pricked as it were with a sword of conscience: but the tongue of the wise is health. |
19 |
The lip of truth shall be steadfast for ever: but he that is a hasty witness, frameth a lying tongue. |
20 |
Deceit is in the heart of them that think evil things: but joy followeth them that take counsels of peace. |
21 |
Whatsoever shall befall the just man, shall not make him sad: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief. |
22 |
Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord: but they that deal faithfully, please him. |
23 |
A cautious man concealeth knowledge: and the heart of fools publisheth folly. |
24 |
The hand of the valiant shall bear rule: but that which is slothful shall be under tribute. |
25 |
Grief in the heart of a man shall bring him low, but with a good word he shall be made glad. |
26 |
He that neglecteth a loss for the sake of a friend, is just: but the way of the wicked shall deceive them. |
27 |
The deceitful man shall not find gain: but the substance of a just man shall be precious gold. |
28 |
In the path of justice is life: but the bye-way leadeth to death. |
