Proverbs 12 📜 📕 ↷
Loving Discipline and Knowledge
1 He that loveth discipline, loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reprehensions is unwise.📜💬📚
2 He that is good, shall draw grace from our Lord: but he that trusteth in his own cogitations, doth impiously.📜💬📚
3 Man shall not be strengthened by impiety: and the root of the just shall not be moved.📜💬📚
4 A diligent woman is a crown to her husband: and putrefaction in his bones, she that doth things worthy of confusion.📜💬📚
5 The cogitations of the just are judgments: & the counsels of the impious are fraudulent.📜💬📚
6 The words of the impious lie in wait for blood: the mouth of the just shall deliver them.📜💬📚
7 Turn the impious, and they shall not be: but the house of the just shall be permanent.📜💬📚
8 A man shall be known by his doctrine: but he that is vain and foolish, shall lie open to contempt.📜💬📚
9 Better is the poor and sufficient to himself, than he that is glorious and wanteth bread.📜💬📚
10 The just knoweth the lives of his beasts: but the bowels of the impious are cruel.📜💬📚
11 He that tilleth his land, shall be filled with breads: but he that pursueth idleness is a very fool. He that is delighted in much quaffing of wine, leaveth contumely in his munitions.📜💬📚
12 The desire of the impious is the muniment of the most wicked: but the root of the just shall prosper.📜💬📚
13 For the sins of the lips' ruin approacheth to the evil man: but the just escapeth out of distress.📜💬📚
14 Of the fruit of his own mouth shall every man be replenished with good things, and according to the works of his hands it shall be repaid him.📜💬📚
15 The way of a fool is right in his eyes: but he that is wise heareth counsels.📜💬📚
16 A fool by & by sheweth his anger: but he that dissembleth injuries is wise.📜💬📚
17 He that speaketh that which he knoweth, is an utterer of justice: but he that lieth, is a fraudulent witness.📜💬📚
18 There is that promiseth, and is pricked as it were with the sword of conscience: but the tongue of the wise is health.📜💬📚
19 The lips of truth shall be stable for ever: but he that is an hasty witness, frameth a tongue of lying.📜💬📚
20 Guile is in the heart of them that think evil things: but joy followeth them that give counsels of peace.📜💬📚
21 It shall not make the just sorry what soever shall fall to him: but the impious shall be replenished with evil.📜💬📚
22 Lying lips are an abomination to our Lord: but they that do faithfully please him.📜💬📚
23 A circumspect man concealeth knowledge: and the heart of the unwise provoketh folly.📜💬📚
24 The hand of the strong shall rule, but that which is slothful, shall serve under tributes.📜💬📚
25 Pensiveness in the heart of a man shall humble him, & with a good word he shall be made glad.📜💬📚
26 He that neglecteth damage for a friend, is just: but the way of the impious shall deceive them.📜💬📚
27 The fraudulent man shall not find gain: and the substance of a man shall be the price of gold.📜💬📚
28 In the path of justice, life: but the by-way leadeth to death.📜💬📚
