    Proverbs 12
    • 1   A lover of training is a lover of knowledge; but a hater of teaching is like a beast.
    • 2   A good man has grace in the eyes of the Lord; but the man of evil designs gets punishment from him.
    • 3   No man will make himself safe through evil-doing; but the root of upright men will never be moved.
    • 4   A woman of virtue is a crown to her husband; but she whose behaviour is a cause of shame is like a wasting disease in his bones.
    • 5   The purposes of upright men are right, but the designs of evil-doers are deceit.
    • 6   The words of sinners are destruction for the upright; but the mouth of upright men is their salvation.
    • 7   Evil-doers are overturned and never seen again, but the house of upright men will keep its place.
    • 8   A man will be praised in the measure of his wisdom, but a wrong-minded man will be looked down on.
    • 9   He who is of low position and has a servant, is better than one who has a high opinion of himself and is in need of bread.
    • 10   An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evil-doers are cruel.
    • 11   He who does work on his land will not be short of bread; but he who goes after foolish men is without sense.
    • 12   The resting-place of the sinner will come to destruction, but the root of upright men is for ever.
    • 13   In the sin of the lips is a net which takes the sinner, but the upright man will come out of trouble.
    • 14   From the fruit of his mouth will a man have good food in full measure, and the work of a man's hands will be rewarded.
    • 15   The way of the foolish man seems right to him? but the wise man gives ear to suggestions.
    • 16   A foolish man lets his trouble be openly seen, but a sharp man keeps shame secret.
    • 17   The breathing out of true words gives knowledge of righteousness; but a false witness gives out deceit.
    • 18   There are some whose uncontrolled talk is like the wounds of a sword, but the tongue of the wise makes one well again.
    • 19   True lips are certain for ever, but a false tongue is only for a minute.
    • 20   Deceit is in the heart of those whose designs are evil, but for those purposing peace there is joy.
    • 21   No trouble will come to upright men, but sinners will be full of evil.
    • 22   False lips are hated by the Lord, but those whose acts are true are his delight.
    • 23   A sharp man keeps back his knowledge; but the heart of foolish men makes clear their foolish thoughts.
    • 24   The hand of the ready worker will have authority, but he who is slow in his work will be put to forced work.
    • 25   Care in the heart of a man makes it weighted down, but a good word makes it glad.
    • 26   The upright man is a guide to his neighbour, but the way of evil-doers is a cause of error to them.
    • 27   He who is slow in his work does not go in search of food; but the ready worker gets much wealth.
    • 28   In the road of righteousness is life, but the way of the evil-doer goes to death.
