Proverbs 12
Whoso
loveth
a
instruction
loveth
knowledge:
but
he
that
hateth
b
reproof
is
brutish.
2 A
good
man
obtaineth
a
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
a
virtuous
b
woman
is
a
crown
to
her
c
husband:
but
she
that
maketh
ashamed
is
as
rottenness
in
his
bones.
5 The
thoughts
of
the
righteous
are
right:
but
the
a
counsels
of
the
wicked
are
b
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
a
wicked
are
b
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
a
honoureth
himself,
and
lacketh
bread.
10 A
righteous
man
regardeth
the
life
of
his
a
beast:
but
the
tender
mercies
of
the
wicked
are
b
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
a
transgression
of
his
b
lips:
but
the
just
shall
come
out
of
trouble.
14 A
man
shall
be
satisfied
with
good
by
the
fruit
of
his
a
mouth:
and
the
recompence
of
a
man's
hands
shall
be
rendered
unto
him.
15 The
way
of
a
a
fool
is
right
in
his
own
eyes:
but
he
that
hearkeneth
unto
b
counsel
is
wise.
16 A
fool's
wrath
is
presently
known:
but
a
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
a
Lying
lips
are
abomination
to
the
Lord:
but
they
that
deal
b
truly
are
his
c
delight.
23 A
a
prudent
man
concealeth
b
knowledge:
but
the
heart
of
fools
proclaimeth
c
foolishness.
24 The
hand
of
the
a
diligent
shall
bear
rule:
but
the
b
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
a
slothful
man
roasteth
not
that
which
he
took
in
hunting:
but
the
substance
of
a
b
diligent
man
is
precious.
28 In
the
way
of
a
righteousness
is
life;
and
in
the
pathway
thereof
there
is
no
death.
