Proverbs 12:3

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

When the storm-wind is past, the sinner is seen no longer, but the upright man is safe for ever.

I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly the curse came on his house.

He does not get wealth for himself, and is unable to keep what he has got; the heads of his grain are not bent down to the earth.

That the pride of the sinner is short, and the joy of the evil-doer but for a minute?

Though he may get silver together like dust, and make ready great stores of clothing;

The resting-place of the sinner will come to destruction, but the root of upright men is for ever.

Those whose hope is in the Lord are like the mountain of Zion, which may not be moved, but keeps its place for ever.

A blessing on your good sense and on you, who have kept me today from the crime of blood and from taking into my hands the punishment for my wrongs.

So that Christ may have his place in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and based in love,

Rooted and based together in him, strong in the faith which the teaching gave you, giving praise to God at all times.
