Proverbs 12

^{Tools
1} He loving instruction loved knowledge: and he hating reproof, is stupid.

^{Tools
2} The good shall obtain acceptance from Jehovah: and the man of mischief he will condemn.

^{Tools
3} A man shall not be prepared by injustice: and the root of the Just shall not be moved.

^{Tools
4} A woman of strength is a crown to her husband: and she causing shame, as rottenness in his bones.

^{Tools
5} The purposes of the just are judgment: the guidance of the unjust, deceit

^{Tools
6} The words of the unjust are the lying in wait of blood: and the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

^{Tools
7} The unjust are overthrown, and they are not: and the house of the just shall stand.

^{Tools
8} According to the mouth of understanding a man shall be praised: and he being perverse of heart shall be for contempt

^{Tools
9} He is good being despised, and a servant to him above him, honoring himself, and wanting bread.

^{Tools
10} The just one shall know the soul of his cattle: and the compassion of the unjust are cruel.

^{Tools
11} He working his earth shall be filled with bread: and he pursuing vain things wanted heart.

^{Tools
12} The unjust one desired the net of the evil: and the root of the just will give.

^{Tools
13} In the transgression of the lips is the snare of evil: and the just one shall come forth out of straits.

^{Tools
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.

^{Tools
15} The way of the foolish is right in his eyes: and the wise one heard to counsel.

^{Tools
16} The foolish one in the day shall make known his anger: but the prudent one covered dishonor.

^{Tools
17} He breathing out faithfulness will announce justice: and a witness of falsehoods, deceit

^{Tools
18} There is he talking idly as the piercings of the sword: and the tongue of the wise is healing.

^{Tools
19} The lip of truth shall be prepared forever: and the tongue of falsehood while I shall wink.

^{Tools
20} Deceit in the heart of those devising evil: and joy to those counseling peace.

^{Tools
21} No iniquity shall approach to the just one: and the unjust were filled with evil.

^{Tools
22} Lips of falsehood an abomination of Jehovah: and they doing faithfulness his delight

^{Tools
23} A prudent man covered knowledge: and the heart of the foolish will meet folly.

^{Tools
24} The hand of the active shall give dominion: and of the slothful one shall be for tribute.

^{Tools
25} Fear in the heart of a man will bow it down: and a good word will gladden it

^{Tools
26} The just excelled above his neighbor: and the way of the unjust shall lead them astray.

^{Tools
27} The slothful one shall not ensnare his hunting: and the substance of the active man is precious.

^{Tools
28} In the way of justice is life; and the way of its beaten path not death.
