Proverbs · Chapter 12
Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof
is brutish.
A good
man obtaineth favour of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH): 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.

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 recompense 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 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH): 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.
The righteous
is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
The slothful
man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man
is precious.
In the way of righteousness
is life; and
in the pathway
thereof there is no death.

man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open
his folly.

men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repaid.

man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

is in the tillage of the poor: but there is
that is destroyed for want of judgment.
