Proverbs 12

1 From this chapter to the five and twentieth are sundry observations of moral virtues, and their contrary vices.

 12:1 ¶ Whoso loveth 157 z8802 instruction 4148 loveth 157 z8802 knowledge: 1847 but he that hateth 8130 z8802 reproof 8433 [is] brutish. 1198

 12:2 A good 2896 [man] obtaineth 6329 z8686 favor 7522 of the LORD: 3068 x4480 but a man 376 of wicked devices 4209 will he condemn. 7561 z8686

 12:3 A man 120 shall not x3808 be established 3559 z8735 by wickedness: 7562 but the root 8328 of the righteous 6662 shall not x1077 be moved. 4131 z8735

 12:4 A virtuous 2428 woman 802 [is] a crown 5850 to her husband: 1167 but she that maketh ashamed 954 z8688 [is] as rottenness 7538 in his bones. 6106

 12:5 The thoughts 4284 of the righteous 6662 [are] right: 4941 [but] the counsels 8458 of the wicked 7563 [are] deceit. 4820

 12:6 The words 1697 of the wicked 7563 [are] to lie in wait 693 z8800 for blood: 1818 but the mouth 6310 of the upright 3477 shall deliver 5337 z8686 them.

 12:7 The wicked 7563 are overthrown, 2015 z8800 and [are] not: x369 but the house 1004 of the righteous 6662 shall stand. 5975 z8799

 12:8 A man 376 shall be commended 1984 z8792 according 6310 to his wisdom: 7922 but he that is of a perverse 5753 z8737 heart 3820 shall be x1961 despised. 937

 12:9 [He that is] despised, 7034 z8737 and hath a servant, 5650 [is] better 2896 than he that honoreth y3513 z8693 himself, x4480 x3513 and lacketh 2638 bread. 3899

 12:10 A righteous 6662 [man] regardeth 3045 z8802 the life 5315 of his beast: 929 but the tender mercies 7356 of the wicked 7563 [are] cruel. 394

 12:11 He that tilleth 5647 z8802 his land 127 shall be satisfied 7646 z8799 with bread: 3899 but he that followeth 7291 z8764 vain 7386 [persons is] void 2638 of understanding. 3820

 12:12 The wicked 7563 desireth 2530 z8804 the net 4685 of evil 7451 [men]: but the root 8328 of the righteous 6662 yieldeth 5414 z8799 [fruit].

 12:13 The wicked 7451 is snared 4170 by the transgression 6588 of [his] lips: 8193 but the just 6662 shall come out 3318 z8799 of trouble. 6869 x4480

 12:14 A man 376 shall be satisfied 7646 z8799 with good 2896 by the fruit 6529 x4480 of [his] mouth: 6310 and the recompense 1576 of a man's 120 hands 3027 shall be rendered 7725 z8686 z8675 z8799 unto him.

 12:15 The way 1870 of a fool 191 [is] right 3477 in his own eyes: 5869 but he that hearkeneth 8085 z8802 unto counsel 6098 [is] wise. 2450

 12:16 A fool's 191 wrath 3708 is presently 3117 known: 3045 z8735 but a prudent 6175 [man] covereth 3680 z8802 shame. 7036

 12:17 [He that] speaketh 6315 z8686 truth 530 showeth forth 5046 z8686 righteousness: 6664 but a false 8267 witness 5707 deceit. 4820

 12:18 There is 3426 that speaketh 981 z8802 like the piercings 4094 of a sword: 2719 but the tongue 3956 of the wise 2450 [is] health. 4832

 12:19 The lip 8193 of truth 571 shall be established 3559 z8735 forever: 5703 but x5704 a lying 8267 tongue 3956 [is] but for a moment. 7280 z8686

 12:20 Deceit 4820 [is] in the heart 3820 of them that imagine 2790 z8802 evil: 7451 but to the counselors 3289 z8802 of peace 7965 [is] joy. 8057

 12:21 There shall no x3808 x3605 evil 205 happen 579 z8792 to the just: 6662 but the wicked 7563 shall be filled 4390 z8804 with mischief. 7451

 12:22 Lying 8267 lips 8193 [are] abomination 8441 to the LORD: 3068 but they that deal 6213 z8802 truly 530 [are] his delight. 7522

 12:23 A prudent 6175 man 120 concealeth 3680 z8802 knowledge: 1847 but the heart 3820 of fools 3684 proclaimeth 7121 z8799 foolishness. 200

 12:24 The hand 3027 of the diligent 2742 shall bear rule: 4910 z8799 but the slothful 7423 shall be x1961 under tribute. 4522

 12:25 Heaviness 1674 in the heart 3820 of man 376 maketh it stoop: 7812 z8686 but a good 2896 word 1697 maketh it glad. 8055 z8762

 12:26 The righteous 6662 [is] more excellent 8446 z8686 than his neighbor: 7453 x4480 but the way 1870 of the wicked 7563 seduceth 8582 z8686 them.

 12:27 The slothful 7423 [man] roasteth 2760 z8799 not x3808 that which he took in hunting: 6718 but the substance 1952 of a diligent 2742 man 120 [is] precious. 3368

 12:28 In the way 734 of righteousness 6666 [is] life; 2416 and [in] the pathway 5410 1870 [thereof there is] no x408 death. 4194
