Proverbs 12Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge,
But he who hates reproof is stupid.
A good man obtains favor from the LORD,
But a man of wicked devices He will condemn.
A man is not established by wickedness,
But the root of the righteous cannot be moved.
An excellent wife is the crown of her rhusband,
But she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.
The thoughts of the righteous are right,
But the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.
The words of the wicked are,"Lie in wait for blood,"
But the mouth of the upright will deliver them.
THe wicked are overthrown and are no more,
But the house of the righteous will stand.
A man will be commended according to his wisdom,
But he who is of a perverse heart will be despised.
Better is the one who is slighted but has a servant,
Then he who honors himself but lacks bread.
A srighteous man regards the life of his animal,
But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
He who tills his land will be satisfied with bread,
But he who follows frivolity is devoid of understanding.
The wicked covet the catch of evil men,
But the root of the righteous yeilds fruit.
THe wicked is ensnared b the transgression of his lips,
But the righteous will come through trouble.
A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth,
And the recompense of a man's hands will be renfered to him.
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
But he who heed counsel is wise.
A fool's wrath is known at once.
But a prudent man covers shame.
He who speaks truth declares righteousness.
But a false withness, deceit.
There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword,
But the tongue of the wise promotes health.
THe truthful lip shall be established forever,
But a lying tongue is but for a moment.
Deveit is in the heart of those who devise evil,
but counselors of peace have joy.
No grave trouble will overtake the righteous,
But the wicked shall be filled with evil.
Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD,
But those who deal truthfully are His delight.
A prudent man conceals knowledge,
But the hearrt of fools proclaims foolishness.
Thhe hand of the diligent will rule,
But the slothful will be put to forced labor.
Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression,
But a good word makes it glad.
The righteous should choose his friends carefully,,
For the way of the wicked leads them astray.
The slothful man does not roast what he took in hunting,
But diligence is man's precious possession.
In the way of righteousness is life
And in its pathway there is no death.
