Proverbs 12 (kjv)

Whoso loveth^H157 instruction^H4148 loveth^H157 knowledge^H1847: but he that hateth^H8130 reproof^H8433 is brutish^H1198.²A good^H2896 man obtaineth^H6329 favour^H7522 of the LORD^H3068: but a man^H376 of wicked devices^H4209 will he condemn^H7561.³A man^H120 shall not be established^H3559 by wickedness^H7562: but the root^H8328 of the righteous^H6662 shall not be moved^H4131.⁴A virtuous^H2428 woman^H802 is a crown^H5850 to her husband^H1167: but she that maketh ashamed^H954 is as rottenness^H7538 in his bones^H6106.⁵The thoughts^H4284 of the righteous^H6662 are right^H4941: but the counsels^H8458 of the wicked^H7563 are deceit^H4820.⁶The words^H1697 of the wicked^H7563 are to lie in wait^H693 for blood^H1818: but the mouth^H6310 of the upright^H3477 shall deliver^H5337 them.⁷The wicked^H7563 are overthrown^H2015, and are not: but the house^H1004 of the righteous^H6662 shall stand^H5975.⁸A man^H376 shall be commended^H1984 according^H6310 to his wisdom^H7922: but he that is of a perverse^H5753 heart^H3820 shall be despised^H937.⁹He that is despised^H7034, and hath a servant^H5650, is better^H2896 than he that honoureth^H3513 himself, and lacketh^H2638 bread^H3899.¹⁰A righteous^H6662 man regardeth^H3045 the life^H5315 of his beast^H929: but the tender mercies^H7356 of the wicked^H7563 are cruel^H394.¹¹He that tilleth^H5647 his land^H127 shall be satisfied^H7646 with bread^H3899: but he that followeth^H7291 vain^H7386 persons is void^H2638 of understanding^H3820.¹²The wicked^H7563 desireth^H2530 the net^H4685 of evil^H7451 men: but the root^H8328 of the righteous^H6662 yieldeth^H5414 fruit.¹³The wicked^H7451 is snared^H4170 by the transgression^H6588 of his lips^H8193: but the just^H6662 shall come out^H3318 of trouble^H6869.¹⁴A man^H376 shall be satisfied^H7646 with good^H2896 by the fruit^H6529 of his mouth^H6310: and the recompence^H1576 of a man's^H120 hands^H3027 shall be rendered^{H7725 H7725} untohim.¹⁵The way^H1870 of a fool^H191 is right^H3477 in his own eyes^H5869: but he that hearkeneth^H8085 unto counsel^H6098 is wise^H2450.¹⁶A fool's^H191 wrath^H3708 is presently^H3117 known^H3045: but a prudent^H6175 man covereth^H3680 shame^H7036.¹⁷He that speaketh^H6315 truth^H530 sheweth forth^H5046 righteousness^H6664: but a false^H8267 witness^H5707 deceit^H4820.¹⁸There is^H3426 that speaketh^H981 like the piercings^H4094 of a sword^H2719: but the tongue^H3956 of the wise^H2450 is health^H4832.¹⁹The lip^H8193 of truth^H571 shall be established^H3559 for ever^H5703: but a lying^H8267 tongue^H3956 is but for a moment^H7280.²⁰Deceit^H4820 is in the heart^H3820 of them that imagine^H2790 evil^H7451: but to the counsellors^H3289 of peace^H7965 is joy^H8057.²¹There shall no evil^H205 happen^H579 to the just^H6662: but the wicked^H7563 shall be filled^H4390 with mischief^H7451.²²Lying^H8267 lips^H8193 are abomination^H8441 to the LORD^H3068: but they that deal^H6213 truly^H530 are his delight^H7522.²³A prudent^H6175 man^H120 concealeth^H3680 knowledge^H1847: but the heart^H3820 of fools^H3684 proclaimeth^H7121 foolishness^H200.²⁴The hand^H3027 of the diligent^H2742 shall bear rule^H4910: but the slothful^H7423 shall be under tribute^H4522.²⁵Heaviness^H1674 in the heart^H3820 of man^H376 maketh it stoop^H7812: but a good^H2896 word^H1697 maketh it glad^H8055.²⁶The righteous^H6662 is more excellent^H8446 than his neighbour^H7453: but the way^H1870 of the wicked^H7563 seduceth^H8582 them.²⁷The slothful^H7423 man roasteth^H2760 not that which he took in hunting^H6718: but the substance^H1952 of a diligent^H2742 man^H120 is precious^H3368.²⁸In the way^H734 of righteousness^H6666 is life^H2416; and in the pathway^{H5410 H1870} thereof there is no death^H4194.
