Pro Proverbs, chapter Proverbs of Solomon, chapter 12
Whoso loveth knowledge loveth correction; but he that is brutish hateth reproof. Pro 10:17A good man shall obtain favour of the LORD; but a man of wicked devices will He condemn. A man shall not be established by wickedness; but the root of the righteous shall never be moved. Pro 10:25; Isa 37:31; Jer 17:8A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband; but she that doeth shamefully is as rottenness in his bones. The thoughts of the righteous are right; but the counsels of the wicked are deceit. The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them. Pro 1:11The wicked are overthrown, and are not; but the house of the righteous shall stand. A man shall be commended according to his intelligence; but he that is of a distorted understanding shall be despised. Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, than he that playeth the man of rank, and lacketh bread. A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast; but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. Deu 22:6; Deu 25:4He that tilleth his ground shall have plenty of bread; but he that followeth after vain things is void of understanding. Pro 28:19The wicked desireth the prey of evil men; but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit. In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; but the righteous cometh out of trouble. Pro 18:7A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, and the doings of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him. Psa 62:12The way of a fool is straight in his own eyes; but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel. Pro 10:17A fool's vexation is presently known; but a prudent man concealeth shame. Ecc 7:9He that breatheth forth truth uttereth righteousness; but a false witness deceit. Pro 14:5There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword; but the tongue of the wise is health. Psa 59:7; Psa 64:3The lip of truth shall be established for ever; but a lying tongue is but for a moment. Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil; but to the counsellors of peace is joy. There shall no mischief befall the righteous; but the wicked are filled with evil. Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD; but they that deal truly are His delight. Psa 5:6A prudent man concealeth knowledge; but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness. Pro 13:16The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; but the slothful shall be under tribute. Care in the heart of a man boweth it down; but a good word maketh it glad. The righteous is guided by his friend; but the way of the wicked leadeth them astray. The slothful man shall not hunt his prey; but the precious substance of men is to be diligent. In the way of righteousness is life, and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
