YLT - Proverbs - 12

12:1  Whoso is loving instruction, is loving knowledge, And whoso is hating reproof is brutish.

12:2  The good bringeth forth favour from Jehovah, And the man of wicked devices He condemneth.

12:3  A man is not established by wickedness, And the root of the righteous is not moved.

12:4  A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband, And as rottenness in his bones is one causing shame.

12:5  The thoughts of the righteous are justice, The counsels of the wicked--deceit.

12:6  The words of the wicked are : `Lay wait for blood,' And the mouth of the upright delivereth them.

12:7  Overthrow the wicked, and they are not, And the house of the righteous standeth.

12:8  According to his wisdom is a man praised, And the perverted of heart becometh despised.

12:9  Better is the lightly esteemed who hath a servant, Than the self-honoured who lacketh bread.

12:10  The righteous knoweth the life of his beast, And the mercies of the wicked are cruel.

12:11  Whoso is tilling the ground is satisfied with bread, And whoso is pursuing vanities is lacking heart,

12:12  The wicked hath desired the net of evil doers, And the root of the righteous giveth.

12:13  In transgression of the lips is the snare of the wicked, And the righteous goeth out from distress.

12:14  From the fruit of the mouth is one satisfied with good, And the deed of man's hands returneth to him.

12:15  The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, And whoso is hearkening to counsel is wise.

12:16  The fool--in a day is his anger known, And the prudent is covering shame.

12:17  Whoso uttereth faithfulness declareth righteousness, And a false witness--deceit.

12:18  A rash speaker is like piercings of a sword, And the tongue of the wise is healing.

12:19  The lip of truth is established for ever, And for a moment--a tongue of falsehood.

12:20  Deceit is in the heart of those devising evil, And to those counselling peace is joy.

12:21  No iniquity is desired by the righteous, And the wicked have been full of evil.

12:22  An abomination to Jehovah are lying lips, And stedfast doers are his delight.

12:23  A prudent man is concealing knowledge, And the heart of fools proclaimeth folly.

12:24  The hand of the diligent ruleth, And slothfulness becometh tributary.

12:25  Sorrow in the heart of a man boweth down, And a good word maketh him glad.

12:26  The righteous searcheth his companion, And the way of the wicked causeth them to err.

12:27  The slothful roasteth not his hunting, And the wealth of a diligent man is precious.

12:28  In the path of righteousness is life, And in the way of that path is no death!
