Proverbs 12:1-8

1. 1 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

2. 2 A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.

3. 3 A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

4. 4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

5. 5 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.

6. 6 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

7. 7 The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.

8. 8 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
