Proverbs 12:1-10

1Whoever loves discipline loves to learn, but whoever hates correction is a dumb animal.

2A good person obtains favor from the Lord, but the Lord condemns everyone who schemes.

3A person cannot stand firm on a foundation of wickedness, and the roots of righteous people cannot be moved.

4A wife with strength of character is the crown of her husband, but the wife who disgraces him is like bone cancer.

5The thoughts of righteous people are fair. The advice of wicked people is treacherous.

6The words of wicked people are a deadly ambush, but the words  of decent people rescue.

7Overthrow wicked people, and they are no more, but the families of righteous people continue to stand.

8A person will be praised based on his insight, but whoever has a twisted mind will be despised.

9Better to be unimportant and have a slave than to act important and have nothing to eat.

10A righteous person cares ⌞even⌟ about the life of his animals, but the compassion of wicked people is ⌞nothing but⌟ cruelty.
