# Chapter 12
|
|
1. Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge,
|
|
But he who hates correction is stupid.
|
|
|
|
2. A good man obtains favor from the Lord,
|
|
But a man of wicked intentions He will condemn.
|
|
|
|
3. A man is not established by wickedness,
|
|
But the root of the righteous cannot be moved.
|
|
|
|
4. An excellent wife is the crown of her husband,
|
|
But she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.
|
|
|
|
5. The thoughts of the righteous are right,
|
|
But the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.
|
|
|
|
6. The words of the wicked are, "Lie in wait for blood,"
|
|
But the mouth of the upright will deliver them.
|
|
|
|
7. The wicked are overthrown and are no more,
|
|
But the house of the righteous will stand.
|
|
|
|
8. A man will be commended according to his wisdom,
|
|
But he who is of a perverse heart will be despised.
|
|
|
|
9. Better is the one who is slighted but has a servant,
|
|
Than he who honors himself but lacks bread.
|
|
|
|
10. A righteous man regards the life of his animal,
|
|
But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
|
|
|
|
11. He who tills his land will be satisfied with bread,
|
|
But he who follows frivolity is devoid of understanding.
|
|
|
|
12. The wicked covet the catch of evil men,
|
|
But the root of the righteous yields fruit.
|
|
|
|
13. The wicked is ensnared by the transgression of his lips,
|
|
But the righteous will come through trouble.
|
|
|
|
14. A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth,
|
|
And the recompense of a man's hands will be rendered to him.
|
|
|
|
15. The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
|
|
But he who heeds counsel is wise.
|
|
|
|
16. A fool's wrath is known at once,
|
|
But a prudent man covers shame.
|
|
|
|
17. He who speaks truth declares righteousness,
|
|
But a false witness, deceit.
|
|
|
|
18. There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword,
|
|
But the tongue of the wise promotes health.
|
|
|
|
19. The truthful lip shall be established forever,
|
|
But a lying tongue is but for a moment.
|
|
|
|
20. Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,
|
|
But counselors of peace have joy.
|
|
|
|
21. No grave trouble will overtake the righteous,
|
|
But the wicked shall be filled with evil.
|
|
|
|
22. Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,
|
|
But those who deal truthfully are His delight.
|
|
|
|
23. A prudent man conceals knowledge,
|
|
But the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.
|
|
|
|
24. The hand of the diligent will rule,
|
|
But the lazy man will be put to forced labor.
|
|
|
|
25. Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression,
|
|
But a good word makes it glad.
|
|
|
|
26. The righteous should choose his friends carefully,
|
|
For the way of the wicked leads them astray.
|
|
|
|
27. The lazy man does not roast what he took in hunting,
|
|
But diligence is man's precious possession.
|
|
|
|
28. In the way of righteousness is life,
|
|
And in its pathway there is no death.
