Proverbs 12:1-3
Proverbs 12:1-3 The Message (MSG)
If you love learning, you love the discipline that goes with it— how shortsighted to refuse correction! A good person basks in the delight of GOD, and he wants nothing to do with devious schemers. You can’t find firm footing in a swamp, but life rooted in God stands firm.
Proverbs 12:1-3 King James Version (KJV)
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.
Proverbs 12:1-3 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, But he who hates reproof is stupid. A good man will obtain favor from the LORD, But He will condemn a man who devises evil. A man will not be established by wickedness, But the root of the righteous will not be moved.
Proverbs 12:1-3 New Century Version (NCV)
Anyone who loves learning accepts correction, but a person who hates being corrected is stupid. The LORD is pleased with a good person, but he will punish anyone who plans evil. Doing evil brings no safety at all, but a good person has safety and security.
Proverbs 12:1-3 American Standard Version (ASV)
Whoso loveth correction loveth knowledge; But he that hateth reproof is brutish. A good man shall obtain favor of Jehovah; 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.
Proverbs 12:1-3 New International Version (NIV)
Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid. Good people obtain favor from the LORD, but he condemns those who devise wicked schemes. No one can be established through wickedness, but the righteous cannot be uprooted.
Proverbs 12:1-3 New King James Version (NKJV)
Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, But he who hates correction is stupid. A good man obtains favor from the LORD, But a man of wicked intentions He will condemn. A man is not established by wickedness, But the root of the righteous cannot be moved.
Proverbs 12:1-3 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Whoever loves instruction and discipline loves knowledge, But he who hates reproof and correction is stupid. A good man will obtain favor from the LORD, But He will condemn a man who devises evil. A man will not be established by wickedness, But the root of the [consistently] righteous will not be moved.
Proverbs 12:1-3 New Living Translation (NLT)
To learn, you must love discipline; it is stupid to hate correction. The LORD approves of those who are good, but he condemns those who plan wickedness. Wickedness never brings stability, but the godly have deep roots.
Proverbs 12:1-3 The Passion Translation (TPT)
To learn the truth you must long to be teachable, or you can despise correction and remain ignorant. If your heart is right, favor flows from the Lord, but a devious heart invites his condemnation. You can’t expect success by doing what’s wrong. But the lives of his lovers are deeply rooted and firmly planted.
Proverbs 12:1-3 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV)
Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid. A good man obtains favor from the LORD, but a man of evil devices he condemns. No one is established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous will never be moved.
