PRO 12:1–12:28 ©

Proverbs 12

12He who loves knowledge loves discipline,

but he that hates reproof is a boor.

2A good man wins the Lord’s good-will,

but a man of evil designs He condemns.

3By wickedness no man can stand forever,

but the root of the righteous remains unmoved.

4A worthy wife is a crown to her husband,

but one that brings shame is as rot in his bones.

5The aims of the righteous are just;

the designs of the wicked are treacherous.

6The words of the wicked lurk for blood,

but the speech of the upright delivers.

7The wicked will be overthrown and vanish,

but the house of the righteous will stand.

8A man is commended according to his insight.

but a wrong-headed man is despised.

9Better a man of no rank, with a servant,

than one who apes greatness and yet has no bread.

10A righteous man cares for the life of his beast,

but the heart of the wicked is cruel.

11He who tills his land will have plenty of bread.

but he who pursues empty aims will have none.

12The wicked is snared by his wickedness,

but the root of the righteous endures.

13By the sin of his lips is the wicked ensnared,

but the righteous escapes from trouble.

14The words of a man bring forth good fruit in plenty,

and the deeds of his hands will come back upon him.

15A fool is certain his way is right,

but a wise man listens to counsel.

16A fool displays his anger at once,

but a prudent man hides an affront.

17One who speaks out the truth affirms justice.

but a false witness utters lies.

18The chatter of some is like sword-thrusts.

but the tongue of the wise is healing.

19The man who speaks truth stands forever,

but the false tongue is but for a moment.

20Hearts of deceit have the men who plan evil,

but happy are those who plan other men’s good.

21No evil thing can befall the righteous,

but the wicked are full of misfortune.

22The Lord abhors lying lips,

But delighteth in those that deal faithfully.

23A man of prudence conceals what he knows,

but a fool shouts his folly aloud.

24The diligent comes to power,

but the slothful becomes a serf.

25Care bows down a man’s heart,

but a good word makes it glad.

26The righteous departs from evil;

but the way of the wicked is error.

27The indolent man will not hunt his game,

but the diligent man wins precious wealth.

28In the path of righteousness there is life,

but the way of wickedness leads to death.
