Proverbs 12:8-28 - ESV - A man is commended according to his good sense,...

8 A man is commended according to his good sense, but one of twisted mind is ¹despised.

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

10 ²Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.

11 ³Whoever works his land ⁴will have plenty of bread, ⁵but he who follows ⁶worthless pursuits lacks sense.

12 Whoever is wicked covets ⁷the spoil of evildoers, but the root of the righteous bears fruit.

13 An evil man is ensnared ⁸by the transgression of his lips, ⁹but the righteous escapes from trouble.

14 From the fruit of his mouth ¹⁰a man is satisfied with good, ¹¹and the work of a man's hand comes back to him.

15 ¹²The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.

16 ¹³The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult.

17 ¹⁴Whoever speaks^a the truth gives honest evidence, but ¹⁵a false witness utters deceit.

18 ¹⁶There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings ¹⁷healing.

19 Truthful lips endure forever, but ¹⁸a lying tongue is but for a moment.

20 Deceit is in the heart of ¹⁹those who devise evil, but those who plan peace have joy.

21 ²⁰No ill befalls the righteous, but the wicked are filled with trouble.

22 ²¹Lying lips are ²²an abomination to the LORD, ²³but those who act faithfully are his delight.

23 ²⁴A prudent man conceals knowledge, ²⁵but the heart of fools proclaims folly.

24 ²⁶The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be ²⁷put to forced labor.

25 ²⁸Anxiety 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.

27 ²⁹Whoever is slothful will not roast his game, but the diligent man will get precious wealth.^c

28 ³⁰In the path of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death.
