Proverbs 12:10-19

¹⁰A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast; But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

¹¹He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread; But he that followeth after vain persons is void of understanding.

¹²The wicked desireth the net of evil men; But the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.

¹³In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; But the righteous shall come out of trouble.

¹⁴A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth; And the doings of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.

¹⁵The way of a fool is right in his own eyes; But he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.

¹⁶A fool’s vexation is presently known; But a prudent man concealeth shame.

¹⁷He that uttereth truth showeth forth righteousness; But a false witness, deceit.

¹⁸There is that speaketh rashly like the piercings of a sword; But the tongue of the wise is health.

¹⁹The lip of truth shall be established for ever; But a lying tongue is but for a moment.
