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.

With the passing of the tempest, there is no wickedness, but [the] righteous have a foundation forever.

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

He will not become rich, and his wealth will not endure, and their possessions will not stretch across the earth.

that [the] rejoicing of [the] wicked [is] {short}, and the joy of [the] godless {lasts only a moment}?

If he heaps up silver like the dust and fashions clothing like the clay,

The wicked covets the proceeds of evil, but the root of the righteous {bears fruit}.

He does not lend his money at interest, and does not take a bribe against [the] innocent. He who does these [things] will never be shaken.

Those who trust in Yahweh [are] like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, [but] abides forever.

And blessed be your discretion, and blessed be you who have prevented me this day from bloodguilt and [from] delivering myself by my own hand.

[that] Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith (you having been firmly rooted and established in love),

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