Proverbs 12:11-18

1. 11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.

2. 12 The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.

3. 13 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.

4. 14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.

5. 15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.

6. 16 A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.

7. 17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.

8. 18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.
