Proverbs 12 (TRV)

From Textus Receptus

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 will not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous will not be moved.

4 An virtuous 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 He that is despised, and has a servant, is better than he that honors himself, and 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 vain people is devoid of understanding.

12 The wicked desires the net of evil men, but the root of the righteous yields fruit.
