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.
