Book 20 Proverbs Chapter 012
| |
| 012:001 | Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
|
| 012:002 | A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
|
| 012:003 | A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
|
| 012:004 | A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
|
| 012:005 | The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
|
| 012:006 | The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
|
| 012:007 | The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
|
| 012:008 | A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
|
| 012:009 | He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
|
| 012:010 | A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
|
| 012:011 | He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.
|
| 012:012 | The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
|
| 012:013 | The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.
|
| 012:014 | A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
|
| 012:015 | The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
|
| 012:016 | A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.
|
| 012:017 | He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
|
| 012:018 | There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.
|
| 012:019 | The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
|
| 012:020 | Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
|
| 012:021 | There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
|
| 012:022 | Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.
|
| 012:023 | A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
|
| 012:024 | The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
|
| 012:025 | Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.
|
| 012:026 | The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
|
| 012:027 | The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.
|
| 012:028 | In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death. |
