Proverbs 12:1-14
[1]Those who love knowledge want to be told when they are wrong. It is stupid to hate being corrected.
[2]The Lord is pleased with good people, but condemns those who plan evil.
[3]Wickedness does not give security, but righteous people stand firm.
[4]A good wife is her husband’s pride and joy; but a wife who brings shame on her husband is like a cancer in his bones.
[5]Honest people will treat you fairly; the wicked only want to deceive you.
[6]The words of the wicked are murderous, but the words of the righteous rescue those who are threatened.
[7]The wicked meet their downfall and leave no descendants, but the families of the righteous live on.
[8]If you are intelligent, you will be praised; if you are stupid, people will look down on you.
[9]It is better to be an ordinary person working for a living than to play the part of someone great but go hungry.
[10]Good people take care of their animals, but wicked people are cruel to theirs.
[11]A hard-working farmer has plenty to eat, but it is stupid to waste time on useless projects.
[12]All that wicked people want is to find evil things to do, but the righteous stand firm.
[13]The wicked are trapped by their own words, but honest people get themselves out of trouble.
[14]Your reward depends on what you say and what you do; you will get what you deserve.
