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.

The ungodly is like a tempest that passeth over, and is no more seen; but the righteous remaineth sure forever.

I have seen myself, when the foolish was deep rooted, that his beauty was suddenly destroyed,

He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, nor increase upon earth.

the praise of the ungodly hath been short, and that the joy of the hypocrites continued but the twinkling of an eye?

Though he have as much money as the dust of the earth, and raiment as ready as the clay,

The desire of the ungodly hunteth after mischief; but the root of the righteous bringeth forth fruit.

He that hath not given his money upon usury, nor taken reward against the innocent. Whoso doeth these things shall never fall.

{A song of the stairs} They that put their trust in the LORD are even as the mount Zion, which may not be removed, but standeth fast forever.

And blessed be thy behaviour, and blessed be thou which hath kept me this day from coming to shed blood and from avenging myself with mine own hand.

that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

and steadfast in the faith, as ye have learned: and therein be plenteous in giving thanks.
