Proverbs 12:4-28 - ESV - An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, ...

4 ¹An excellent wife is ²the crown of her husband, but she who ³brings shame is like ⁴rottenness in his bones.

5 ⁵The thoughts of the righteous are just; the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.

6 The words of the wicked ⁶lie in wait for blood, but ⁷the mouth of the upright delivers them.

7 ⁸The wicked are ⁹overthrown and are no more, ¹⁰but the house of the righteous will stand.

8 A man is commended according to his good sense, but one of twisted mind is ¹¹despised.

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

10 ¹²Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.

11 ¹³Whoever works his land ¹⁴will have plenty of bread, ¹⁵but he who follows ¹⁶worthless pursuits lacks sense.

12 Whoever is wicked covets ¹⁷the spoil of evildoers, but the root of the righteous bears fruit.

13 An evil man is ensnared ¹⁸by the transgression of his lips, ¹⁹but the righteous escapes from trouble.

14 From the fruit of his mouth ²⁰a man is satisfied with good, ²¹and the work of a man's hand comes back to him.

15 ²²The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.

16 ²³The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult.

17 ²⁴Whoever speaks^a the truth gives honest evidence, but ²⁵a false witness utters deceit.

18 ²⁶There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings ²⁷healing.

19 Truthful lips endure forever, but ²⁸a lying tongue is but for a moment.

20 Deceit is in the heart of ²⁹those who devise evil, but those who plan peace have joy.

21 ³⁰No ill befalls the righteous, but the wicked are filled with trouble.

22 ³¹Lying lips are ³²an abomination to the LORD, ³³but those who act faithfully are his delight.

23 ³⁴A prudent man conceals knowledge, ³⁵but the heart of fools proclaims folly.

24 ³⁶The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be ³⁷put to forced labor.

25 ³⁸Anxiety 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 ³⁹Whoever is slothful will not roast his game, but the diligent man will get precious wealth.^c

28 ⁴⁰In the path of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death.
