PROVERBS     |     CHAPTER 12

1     ¶ Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
2     ¶ A good man obtaineth favour 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 honoureth 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 recompence 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 sheweth 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 counsellors 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 neighbour: 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.
