Proverbs 12:10-18

¹⁰The righteous person cares about the needs of his animal, but even the compassion of the wicked is cruel.

¹¹The one who works his land will have plenty of food, but whoever chases after worthless projects has no sense.

¹²The wicked person desires what evil men have stolen from others, but the fruit of righteous people comes from themselves.

¹³An evil person is trapped by his wicked talk, but the righteous person escapes from trouble.

¹⁴From the fruit of his words a person is filled with good things, just as the work of his hands rewards him.

¹⁵The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.

¹⁶A fool shows his anger at once, but one who ignores an insult is prudent.

¹⁷The one who speaks the truth says what is right, but a false witness tells lies.

¹⁸The words of one who speaks rashly are like the thrusts of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
