Proverbs 12:1-10

1Whoever lovethH157 instructionH4148 lovethH157 knowledgeH1847: but he that hatethH8130 reproofH8433isstupidH1198.

2A goodH2896manobtainethH6329 favourH7522 from the LORDH3068: but a manH376 of wicked devicesH4209 he will condemnH7561.

3A manH120 shall not be establishedH3559 by wickednessH7562: but the rootH8328 of the righteousH6662 shall not be movedH4131.

4A virtuousH2428 womanH802is a crownH5850 to her husbandH1167: but she that maketh ashamedH954 is as rottennessH7538 in his bonesH6106.

5The thoughtsH4284 of the righteousH6662 are rightH4941: but the counselsH8458 of the wickedH7563 are deceitH4820.

6The wordsH1697 of the wickedH7563 are to lie in waitH693 for bloodH1818: but the mouthH6310 of the uprightH3477 shall deliverH5337 them.

7The wickedH7563 are overthrownH2015, and are not: but the houseH1004 of the righteousH6662 shall standH5975.

8A manH376 shall be commendedH1984 accordingH6310 to his wisdomH7922: but he that is of a perverseH5753 heartH3820 shall be despisedH937.1

9He that isdespisedH7034, and hath a servantH5650, isbetterH2896 than he that honourethH3513 himself, and is destituteH2638 of breadH3899.

10A righteousH6662manregardethH3045 the lifeH5315 of his beastH929: but the tender merciesH7356 of the wickedH7563 are cruelH394.2
