Proverbs [Sayings] 12:6-15

⁶The words of the wicked are about lying in wait for blood, but the speech of the upright rescues them.

⁷The wicked are overthrown, and are no more, but the house of the upright shall stand.

⁸A man shall be commended according to his wisdom, but he who has a linnened mind shall be despised.

⁹Better is he who is lightly esteemed, and has a servant, than he who honors himself, and lacks bread.

¹⁰A upright man respects the life of his animal, but the tender racham ·merciful love· of the wicked is cruel.

¹¹He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread, but he who chases fantasies is void of understanding.

¹²The wicked desires the plunder of evil men, but the root of the upright flourishes.

¹³An evil man is trapped by sinfulness of lips, but the upright shall come out of trouble.

¹⁴A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth. The work of a man’s hands shall be rewarded to him.

¹⁵The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who is wise sh'ma ·hears obeys· counsel.
