Context of Proverbs 12:14
12The wicked desireth the net of evil men; But the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit. 13In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; But the righteous shall come out of trouble. A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth; And the doings of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him. 15The way of a fool is right in his own eyes; But he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel. 16A fool’s vexation is presently known; But a prudent man concealeth shame.
