| 12 | Proverbs | Reference | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid. | |||
| A good man obtains favor from the LORD, but a man of evil devices he condemns. | |||
| A man is not established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous will never be moved. | |||
| A good wife is the crown of her husband, but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones. | |||
| The thoughts of the righteous are just; the counsels of the wicked are treacherous. | |||
| The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, but the mouth of the upright delivers men. | |||
| The wicked are overthrown and are no more, but the house of the righteous will stand. | |||
| A man is commended according to his good sense, but one of perverse mind is despised. | |||
| Better is a man of humble standing who works for himself than one who plays the great man but lacks bread. | |||
| A righteous man has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel. | |||
| He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits has no sense. | |||
| The strong tower of the wicked comes to ruin, but the root of the righteous stands firm. | |||
| An evil man is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, but the righteous escapes from trouble. | |||
| From the fruit of his words a man is satisfied with good, and the work of a man's hand comes back to him. | |||
| The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice. | |||
| The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent man ignores an insult. | |||
| He who speaks the truth gives honest evidence, but a false witness utters deceit. | |||
| There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. | |||
| Truthful lips endure for ever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment. | |||
| Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, but those who plan good have joy. | |||
| No ill befalls the righteous, but the wicked are filled with trouble. | |||
| Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, but those who act faithfully are his delight. | |||
| A prudent man conceals his knowledge, but fools proclaim their folly. | |||
| The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be put to forced labor. | |||
| Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad. | |||
| A righteous man turns away from evil, but the way of the wicked leads them astray. | |||
| A slothful man will not catch his prey, but the diligent man will get precious wealth. | |||
| In the path of righteousness is life, but the way of error leads to death. | |||
