Proverbs 12:12-16

¹²The desires of the ungodly are evil; But the roots of the godly are firmly set.

¹³For the sin of his lips a sinner falls into snares; But a righteous man escapes from them.

^13aHe whose looks are gentle shall be pitied, But he that contends in the gates will afflict souls.

¹⁴The soul of a man shall be filled with good from the fruits of his mouth; And the recompense of his lips shall be given to him.

¹⁵The ways of fools are right in their own eyes; But a wise man hearkens to counsels.

¹⁶A fool declares his wrath the same day; But a prudent man hides his own disgrace.
