Proverbs 12:1-25

Proverbs 1:12-25 - Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge:
But he that hateth reproof is brutish.
A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD:
But a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
A man shall not be established by wickedness:
But the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband:
But she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
The thoughts of the righteous are right:
But the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood:
But the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
The wicked are overthrown, and are not:
But the house of the righteous shall stand.
A man shall be commended according to his wisdom:
But he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better
Than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast:
But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread:
But he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.
The wicked desireth the net of evil men:
But the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips:
But the just shall come out of trouble.
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.
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes:
But he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
A fool's wrath is presently known:
But a prudent man covereth shame.
He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness:
But a false witness deceit.
There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword:
But the tongue of the wise is health.
The lip of truth shall be established for ever:
But a lying tongue is but for a moment.
Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil:
But to the counsellors of peace is joy.
There shall no evil happen to the just:
But the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
Lying lips are abomination to the LORD:
But they that deal truly are his delight.
A prudent man concealeth knowledge:
But the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
The hand of the diligent shall bear rule:
But the slothful shall be under tribute.
Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop:
But a good word maketh it glad.
