ASVs · chapter 12
1 W hoso lovethH157 correctionH4148 lovethH157 knowledge;H1847 But he that hatethH8130 reproofH8433 is brutish.H1198
2 A goodH2896 man shall obtainH6329 favorH7522 of Jehovah;H3068 But a manH376 of wicked devicesH4209 will he condemn.H7561
3 A manH120 shall not be establishedH3559 by wickedness;H7562 But the rootH8328 of the righteousH6662 shall not be moved.H4131
4 A worthyH2428 womanH802 is the crownH5850 of her husband;H1167 But she that maketh ashamedH954 is as rottennessH7538 in his bones.H6106
5 The thoughtsH4284 of the righteousH6662 are just;H4941 [But] the counselsH8458 of the wickedH7563 are deceit.H4820
6 The wordsH1697 of the wickedH7563 are of lying in waitH693 for blood;H1818 But the mouthH6310 of the uprightH3477 shall deliverH5337 them.
7 The wickedH7563 are overthrown,H2015 and are not; But the houseH1004 of the righteousH6662 shall stand.H5975
8 A manH376 shall be commendedH1984 accordingH6310 to his wisdom;H7922 But he that is of a perverseH5753 heartH3820 shall be despised.H937
9 BetterH2896 is he that is lightly esteemed,H7034 and hath a servant,H5650 Than he that honorethH3513 himself, and lackethH2638 bread.H3899
10 A righteousH6662 man regardethH3045 the lifeH5315 of his beast;H929 But the tender merciesH7356 of the wickedH7563 are cruel.H394
11 He that tillethH5647 his landH127 shall have plentyH7646 of bread;H3899 But he that followethH7291 after vainH7386 [persons] is voidH2638 of understanding.H3820
12 The wickedH7563 desirethH2530 the netH4685 of evilH7451 men; But the rootH8328 of the righteousH6662 yieldethH5414 [fruit].
13 In the transgressionH6588 of the lipsH8193 is a snareH4170 to the evilH6869 man; But the righteousH6662 shall come outH3318 of trouble.H6869
14 A manH376 shall be satisfiedH7646 with goodH2896 by the fruitH6529 of his mouth;H6310 And the doingsH1576 of a man'sH120 handsH3027 shall be renderedH7725 unto him.
15 The wayH1870 of a foolH191 is rightH3477 in his own eyes;H5869 But he that is wiseH2450 hearkenethH8085 unto counsel.H6098
16 A fool'sH191 vexationH3708 is presentlyH3117 known;H3045 But a prudentH6175 man concealethH3680 shame.H7036
17 He that utterethH6315 truthH530 showeth forthH5046 righteousness;H6664 But a falseH8267 witness,H5707 deceit.H4820
18 There isH3426 that speakethH981 rashly like the piercingsH4094 of a sword;H2719 But the tongueH3956 of the wiseH2450 is health.H4832
19 The lipH8193 of truthH571 shall be establishedH3559 for ever;H5703 But a lyingH8267 tongueH3956 is but for a moment.H7280
20 DeceitH4820 is in the heartH3820 of them that deviseH2790 evil;H7451 But to the counsellorsH3289 of peaceH7965 is joy.H8057
21 There shall no mischiefH205 happenH579 to the righteous;H6662 But the wickedH7563 shall be filledH4390 with evil.H7451
22 LyingH8267 lipsH8193 are an abominationH8441 to Jehovah;H3068 But they that dealH6213 trulyH530 are his delight.H7522
23 A prudentH6175 manH120 concealethH3680 knowledge;H1847 But the heartH3820 of foolsH3684 proclaimethH7121 foolishness.H200
24 The handH3027 of the diligentH2742 shall bear rule;H4910 But the slothfulH7423 shall be put under taskwork.H4522
25 HeavinessH1674 in the heartH3820 of a manH376 maketh it stoop;H7812 But a goodH2896 wordH1697 maketh it glad.H8055
26 The righteousH6662 is a guideH8446 to his neighbor;H7453 But the wayH1870 of the wickedH7563 causeth them to err.H8582
27 The slothfulH7423 man roastethH2760 not that which he took in hunting;H6718 But the preciousH3368 substanceH1952 of menH120 [is to] the diligent.H2742
28 In the wayH734 of righteousnessH6666 is life;H2416 And in the pathwayH5410 thereof there is no death.H4194
