Proverbs 12:14-25

¹⁴Of the fruit of his mouth each man shall be ful filled with goods; and by the works of his hands it shall be yielded to him.

¹⁵The way of a fool is rightful or right in his eyes; but he that is wise, heareth counsels.

¹⁶A fool showeth anon his ire; but he that dissembleth wrongs, is wise.

¹⁷He that speaketh that, that he knoweth, is a judge of rightfulness or of rightwiseness; but he that lieth, is a guileful witness.

¹⁸A man is that promiseth, and he is pricked as with the sword of conscience; but the tongue of wise men is health.

¹⁹The lip of truth shall be steadfast without end; but he that is a sudden witness, maketh ready the tongue of leasing.

²⁰Guile is in the heart of them that think evils; but joy pursueth or followeth them that make counsels of peace.

²¹Whatever befalleth to a just or rightwise man, it shall not make him sorry or sorrow; but wicked men shall be filled with evil.

²²False lips is abomination to the Lord; but they that do faithfully, please him.

²³A fell man covereth knowing; and the heart of unwise men stirreth folly.

²⁴The hand of strong men shall have lordship; but the hand that is slow, shall serve to tributes.

²⁵Mourning in the heart of a just or rightwise man shall make him meek; and he shall be made glad by a good word.
