Proverbs 12:1-6

¹He that loves instruction loves sense, but he that hates reproofs is a fool.

²He that has found favour with the Lord is made better; but a transgressor shall be passed over in silence.

³A man shall not prosper by wickedness; but the roots of the righteous shall not be taken up.

⁴A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband; but as a worm in wood, so a bad woman destroys her husband.

⁵The thoughts of the righteous are true judgements; but ungodly men devise deceits.

⁶The words of ungodly men are crafty; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
