Proverbs - Chapter 12 - American King James Version

  1. Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge: but he that hates reproof is brutish.
  2. A good man obtains favor of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
  3. A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
  4. A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that makes ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
  5. The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
  6. The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
  7. The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
  8. A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall 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 beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
  11. He that tills his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that follows vain persons is void of understanding.
  12. The wicked desires the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yields fruit.
  13. The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.
  14. A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompense of a man' hands shall be rendered to him.
  15. The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that listens to counsel is wise.
  16. A fool' wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covers shame.
  17. He that speaks truth shows forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
  18. There is that speaks like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.
  19. The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
  20. Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
  21. There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
  22. Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.
  23. A prudent man conceals knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.
  24. The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
  25. Heaviness in the heart of man makes it stoop: but a good word makes it glad.
  26. The righteous is more excellent than his neighbor: but the way of the wicked seduces them.
  27. The slothful man roasts not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.
  28. In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
