Proverbs 12

JuliaSmith(i) 1 He loving instruction loved knowledge: and he hating reproof, is stupid. 2 The good shall obtain acceptance from Jehovah: and the man of mischief he will condemn. 3 A man shall not be prepared by injustice: and the root of the Just shall not be moved. 4 A woman of strength is a crown to her husband: and she causing shame, as rottenness in his bones. 5 The purposes of the just are judgment: the guidance of the unjust, deceit 6 The words of the unjust are the lying in wait of blood: and the mouth of the upright shall deliver them. 7 The unjust are overthrown, and they are not: and the house of the just shall stand. 8 According to the mouth of understanding a man shall be praised: and he being perverse of heart shall be for contempt 9 He is good being despised, and a servant to him above him, honoring himself, and wanting bread. 10 The just one shall know the soul of his cattle: and the compassion of the unjust are cruel. 11 He working his earth shall be filled with bread: and he pursuing vain things wanted heart. 12 The unjust one desired the net of the evil: and the root of the just will give. 13 In the transgression of the lips is the snare of evil: and the just one shall come forth out of straits. 14 From the fruit of the mouth a man shall be satisfied with good: and the reward of the hands of a man shall be good to him. 15 The way of the foolish is right in his eyes: and the wise one heard to counsel. 16 The foolish one in the day shall make known his anger: but the prudent one covered dishonor. 17 He breathing out faithfulness will announce justice: and a witness of falsehoods, deceit 18 There is he talking idly as the piercings of the sword: and the tongue of the wise is healing. 19 The lip of truth shall be prepared forever: and the tongue of falsehood while I shall wink. 20 Deceit in the heart of those devising evil: and joy to those counseling peace. 21 No iniquity shall approach to the just one: and the unjust were filled with evil. 22 Lips of falsehood an abomination of Jehovah: and they doing faithfulness his delight 23 A prudent man covered knowledge: and the heart of the foolish will meet folly. 24 The hand of the active shall give dominion: and of the slothful one shall be for tribute. 25 Fear in the heart of a man will bow it down: and a good word will gladden it 26 The just excelled above his neighbor: and the way of the unjust shall lead them astray. 27 The slothful one shall not ensnare his hunting: and the substance of the active man is precious. 28 In the way of justice is life; and the way of its beaten path not death.
