Proverbs 12:1-9

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.
