KJV Strongs / Proverbs / Chapter 12
KJV Strongs · chapter 12
1 W hoso lovethH157H8802 instructionH4148 lovethH157H8802 knowledgeH1847: but he that hatethH8130H8802 reproofH8433 is brutishH1198.
2 A goodH2896 man obtainethH6329H8686 favourH7522 of the LORDH3068: but a manH376 of wicked devicesH4209 will he condemnH7561H8686.
3 A manH120 shall not be establishedH3559H8735 by wickednessH7562: but the rootH8328 of the righteousH6662 shall not be movedH4131H8735.
4 A virtuousH2428 womanH802 is a crownH5850 to her husbandH1167: but she that maketh ashamedH954H8688 is as rottennessH7538 in his bonesH6106.
5 The thoughtsH4284 of the righteousH6662 are rightH4941: but the counselsH8458 of the wickedH7563 are deceitH4820.
6 The wordsH1697 of the wickedH7563 are to lie in waitH693H8800 for bloodH1818: but the mouthH6310 of the uprightH3477 shall deliverH5337H8686 them.
7 The wickedH7563 are overthrownH2015H8800, and are not: but the houseH1004 of the righteousH6662 shall standH5975H8799.
8 A manH376 shall be commendedH1984H8792 accordingH6310 to his wisdomH7922: but he that is of a perverseH5753H8737 heartH3820 shall be despisedH937.
9 He that is despisedH7034H8737, and hath a servantH5650, is betterH2896 than he that honourethH3513H8693 himself, and lackethH2638 breadH3899.
10 A righteousH6662 man regardethH3045H8802 the lifeH5315 of his beastH929: but the tender merciesH7356 of the wickedH7563 are cruelH394.
11 He that tillethH5647H8802 his landH127 shall be satisfiedH7646H8799 with breadH3899: but he that followethH7291H8764 vainH7386 persons is voidH2638 of understandingH3820.
12 The wickedH7563 desirethH2530H8804 the netH4685 of evilH7451 men: but the rootH8328 of the righteousH6662 yieldethH5414H8799 fruit.
13 The wickedH7451 is snaredH4170 by the transgressionH6588 of his lipsH8193: but the justH6662 shall come outH3318H8799 of troubleH6869.
14 A manH376 shall be satisfiedH7646H8799 with goodH2896 by the fruitH6529 of his mouthH6310: and the recompenceH1576 of a man'sH120 handsH3027 shall be renderedH7725H8686H8675H7725H8799 unto him.
15 The wayH1870 of a foolH191 is rightH3477 in his own eyesH5869: but he that hearkenethH8085H8802 unto counselH6098 is wiseH2450.
16 A fool'sH191 wrathH3708 is presentlyH3117 knownH3045H8735: but a prudentH6175 man coverethH3680H8802 shameH7036.
17 He that speakethH6315H8686 truthH530 sheweth forthH5046H8686 righteousnessH6664: but a falseH8267 witnessH5707 deceitH4820.
18 There isH3426 that speakethH981H8802 like the piercingsH4094 of a swordH2719: but the tongueH3956 of the wiseH2450 is healthH4832.
19 The lipH8193 of truthH571 shall be establishedH3559H8735 for everH5703: but a lyingH8267 tongueH3956 is but for a momentH7280H8686.
20 DeceitH4820 is in the heartH3820 of them that imagineH2790H8802 evilH7451: but to the counsellorsH3289H8802 of peaceH7965 is joyH8057.
21 There shall no evilH205 happenH579H8792 to the justH6662: but the wickedH7563 shall be filledH4390H8804 with mischiefH7451.
22 LyingH8267 lipsH8193 are abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068: but they that dealH6213H8802 trulyH530 are his delightH7522.
23 A prudentH6175 manH120 concealethH3680H8802 knowledgeH1847: but the heartH3820 of foolsH3684 proclaimethH7121H8799 foolishnessH200.
24 The handH3027 of the diligentH2742 shall bear ruleH4910H8799: but the slothfulH7423 shall be under tributeH4522.
25 HeavinessH1674 in the heartH3820 of manH376 maketh it stoopH7812H8686: but a goodH2896 wordH1697 maketh it gladH8055H8762.
26 The righteousH6662 is more excellentH8446H8686 than his neighbourH7453: but the wayH1870 of the wickedH7563 seducethH8582H8686 them.
27 The slothfulH7423 man roastethH2760H8799 not that which he took in huntingH6718: but the substanceH1952 of a diligentH2742 manH120 is preciousH3368.
28 In the wayH734 of righteousnessH6666 is lifeH2416; and in the pathwayH5410H1870 thereof there is no deathH4194.
