Proverbs 12:3-9

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.
