Proverbs 12:12-18

¹²The wicked desireth the prey 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 cometh 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 straight 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 breatheth forth truth uttereth righteousness; but a false witness deceit.

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