Proverbs 12

but he who hates reproof is stupid.

but he will condemn a man of wicked plans.

but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

but a disgraceful wife is as rottenness in his bones.

but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.

but the speech of the upright rescues them.

but the house of the righteous shall stand.

but he who has a warped mind shall be despised.

than he who honors himself, and lacks bread.

but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

but he who chases fantasies is void of understanding.

but the root of the righteous flourishes.

but the righteous shall come out of trouble.

The work of a man’s hands shall be rewarded to him.

but he who is wise listens to counsel.

but one who overlooks an insult is prudent.

but a false witness lies.

but the tongue of the wise heals.

but a lying tongue is only momentary.

but joy comes to the promoters of peace.

but the wicked shall be filled with evil.

but those who do the truth are his delight.

but the hearts of fools proclaim foolishness.

but laziness ends in slave labor.

but a kind word makes it glad.

but the way of the wicked leads them astray.

but the possessions of diligent men are prized.

in its path there is no death.
