Proverbs 12:6-26 - ESV - The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, ...

6 The words of the wicked ¹lie in wait for blood, but ²the mouth of the upright delivers them.

7 ³The wicked are ⁴overthrown and are no more, ⁵but the house of the righteous will stand.

8 A man is commended according to his good sense, but one of twisted mind is ⁶despised.

9 Better to be lowly and have a servant than to play the great man and lack bread.

10 ⁷Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.

11 ⁸Whoever works his land ⁹will have plenty of bread, ¹⁰but he who follows ¹¹worthless pursuits lacks sense.

12 Whoever is wicked covets ¹²the spoil of evildoers, but the root of the righteous bears fruit.

13 An evil man is ensnared ¹³by the transgression of his lips, ¹⁴but the righteous escapes from trouble.

14 From the fruit of his mouth ¹⁵a man is satisfied with good, ¹⁶and the work of a man's hand comes back to him.

15 ¹⁷The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.

16 ¹⁸The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult.

17 ¹⁹Whoever speaks^a the truth gives honest evidence, but ²⁰a false witness utters deceit.

18 ²¹There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings ²²healing.

19 Truthful lips endure forever, but ²³a lying tongue is but for a moment.

20 Deceit is in the heart of ²⁴those who devise evil, but those who plan peace have joy.

21 ²⁵No ill befalls the righteous, but the wicked are filled with trouble.

22 ²⁶Lying lips are ²⁷an abomination to the LORD, ²⁸but those who act faithfully are his delight.

23 ²⁹A prudent man conceals knowledge, ³⁰but the heart of fools proclaims folly.

24 ³¹The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be ³²put to forced labor.

25 ³³Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.

26 One who is righteous is a guide to his neighbor,^b but the way of the wicked leads them astray.
