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 tempest passes, the wicked is no more, but the righteous is established forever.

I have seen the fool taking root, but suddenly I cursed his dwelling.

he will not be rich, and his wealth will not endure, nor will his possessions spread over the earth;

that the exulting of the wicked is short, and the joy of the godless but for a moment?

Though he heap up silver like dust, and pile up clothing like clay,

Whoever is wicked covets the spoil of evildoers, but the root of the righteous bears fruit.

who does not put out his money at interest and does not take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.

Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

Blessed be your discretion, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodguilt and from avenging myself with my own hand!

so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith--that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
