Proverbs 12:3-13

³People do not become secure/safe by doing what is wicked; righteous people will be very safe and secure LIT like MET a tree that has deep roots.

⁴A good wife is one who causes her husband to be greatly honored, but a wife who does things that cause her husband to be ashamed will destroy him like SIM cancer destroys his bones.

⁵What righteous people want to do is to treat people fairly; what wicked people want to do is to deceive people.

⁶What wicked people say is like a trap MET that kills MTY people who pass by, but what righteous people say MTY rescues those whom wicked people threaten to harm.

⁷Wicked people will die before they become old and we will see them no more, but righteous people will live for many years and have many descendants.

⁸People will praise those who have good sense, but people will despise those ◄who are always thinking about doing evil things/whose thinking is twisted►.

⁹It is better to be a humble/ordinary person who has only one servant than to think that you are very important while you have nothing to eat.

¹⁰Righteous people take care of their domestic animals, but wicked people act cruelly toward their animals.

¹¹Farmers who work hard in their fields will produce good crops that will give them plenty to eat, but those who waste their time working on worthless projects are foolish.

¹²Wicked people desire to take away what other evil people have, but Yahweh enables righteous/godly people to be steadfast and productive MET.

¹³Evil people are trapped by the evil things that they say MTY, but righteous people escape from trouble.
