Proverbs Chapter 12
|
|||
|
|
1 Whoever loves correction loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid.
|
|||
|
|
2 A good man shall obtain favor from Yahweh, but he will condemn a man of wicked plans.
|
|||
|
|
3 A man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
|
|||
|
|
4 A worthy woman is the crown of her husband, but a disgraceful wife is as rottenness in his bones.
|
|||
|
|
5 The thoughts of the righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.
|
|||
|
|
6 The words of the wicked are about lying in wait for blood, but the speech of the upright rescues them.
|
|||
|
|
7 The wicked are overthrown, and are no more, but the house of the righteous shall stand.
|
|||
|
|
8 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom, but he who has a warped mind shall be despised.
|
|||
|
|
9 Better is he who is little known, and has a servant, than he who honors himself and lacks bread.
|
|||
|
|
10 A righteous man respects the life of his animal, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
|
|||
|
|
11 He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread, but he who chases fantasies is void of understanding.
|
|||
|
|
12 The wicked desires the plunder of evil men, but the root of the righteous flourishes.
|
|||
|
|
13 An evil man is trapped by sinfulness of lips, but the righteous shall come out of trouble.
|
|||
|
|
14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth. The work of a man’s hands shall be rewarded to him.
|
|||
|
|
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who is wise listens to counsel.
|
|||
|
|
16 A fool shows his annoyance the same day, but one who overlooks an insult is prudent.
|
|||
|
|
17 He who is truthful testifies honestly, but a false witness lies.
|
|||
|
|
18 There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword, but the tongue of the wise heals.
|
|||
|
|
19 Truth’s lips will be established forever, but a lying tongue is only momentary.
|
|||
|
|
20 Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil, but joy comes to the promoters of peace.
|
|||
|
|
21 No mischief shall happen to the righteous, but the wicked shall be filled with evil.
|
|||
|
|
22 Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, but those who do the truth are his delight.
|
|||
|
|
23 A prudent man keeps his knowledge, but the hearts of fools proclaim foolishness.
|
|||
|
|
24 The hands of the diligent ones shall rule, but laziness ends in slave labor.
|
|||
|
|
25 Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, but a kind word makes it glad.
|
|||
|
|
26 A righteous person is cautious in friendship, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.
|
|||
|
|
27 The slothful man doesn’t roast his game, but the possessions of diligent men are prized.
|
|||
|
|
28 In the way of righteousness is life; in its path there is no death.
