ULT PRO Chapter 12

◄ PRO 12 ► ║ ©

12 The lover of correction loves knowledge,

but the hater of rebuke is stupid.

2 A good one obtains favor from Yahweh,

but a man of schemes he will condemn.

3 A man will not be established by wickedness,

but the root of the righteous ones will not be shaken.

4 A wife of worth is the crown of her husband,

but she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.

5 The plans of the righteous ones are justice;

the directions of the wicked ones are deceit.

6 The words of the wicked ones lie in wait for blood,

but the mouth of the upright ones will deliver them.

7 Wicked ones are overthrown and they are naught,

but the house of the righteous ones will stand.

8 For the mouth of his insight a man will be praised,

but one who is twisted of heart will be for contempt.

9 Better is the one dishonored and has a servant

than the one honoring himself and lacking of bread.

10 A righteous one knows the life of his animal,

but the compassion of the wicked ones is cruel.

11 Bread will satisfy one who works his ground,

but one who pursues empty things is lacking of heart.

12 A wicked one desires the snare of evil ones,

but the root of the righteous ones will give.

13 In the transgression of lips is the snare of the evil one,

but the righteous one will go out from distress.

14 From the fruit of the mouth of a man will he be satisfied with good,

and the accomplishment of the hands of a man will return to him.

15 The way of a fool is right in his eyes,

but a wise one listens to counsel.

16 A fool, his anger is known on the day,

but a prudent one covers dishonor.

17 He who breathes out faithfulness tells righteousness,

but a witness of falsehoods, deceit.

18 There is one who speaks thoughtlessly like the thrusts of a sword,

but the tongue of the wise ones causes healing.

19 A lip of truth will be established to perpetuity,

but a tongue of falsehood as long as I would blink.

20 Deceit is in the heart of devisers of evil,

but joy is for advisers of peace.

21 Any iniquity will not be allowed to happen to the righteous one,

but wicked ones are full of evil.

22 An abomination to Yahweh are lips of falsehood,

but doers of faithfulness are his delight.

23 A prudent man covers knowledge,

but the heart of stupid ones calls out folly.

24 The hand of the diligent ones will rule,

but an idle one will become a forced laborer.

25 Concern in the heart of a man weighs it down,

but a good word gladdens it.

26 A righteous one searches out from his neighbor,

but the way of the wicked ones will lead them astray.

27 A negligent one will not roast his game,

but the wealth of a man is precious for a diligent one.

28 In the path of righteousness is life,

and the way of the beaten path is no death.
