Proverbs 12:1-7

¹Whoso loveth knowledge loveth correction; but he that is brutish hateth reproof.

²A good man shall obtain favour of the LORD; but a man of wicked devices will He condemn.

³A man shall not be established by wickedness; but the root of the righteous shall never be moved.

⁴A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband; but she that doeth shamefully is as rottenness in his bones.

⁵The thoughts of the righteous are right; but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.

⁶The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

⁷The wicked are overthrown, and are not; but the house of the righteous shall stand.
