CHAP. XII.


1   He that loveth correction, loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is foolish.


2   He that is good, shall draw grace from the Lord: but he that trusteth in his own devices, doth wickedly.


3   Man shall not be strengthned by wickedness: and the root of the just shall not be moved.


4   A diligent woman is a crown to her husband: and she that doth things worthy of confusion, is as rottenness in his bones.

-- --


5   The thoughts of the just are judgments: and the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.


6   The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood: the mouth of the just shall deliver them.


7   Turn the wicked, and they shall not be: but the house of the just shall stand firm.


8   A man shall be known by his learning: but he that is vain and foolish, shall be exposed to contempt.


9   Better is the poor man that provideth for himself, than he that is glorious and wanteth bread.


10   The just regardeth the lives of his beasts: but the bowels of the wicked are cruel.


11   He that tilleth his land, shall be satisfied with bread: but he that pursueth idleness is a very fool.
He that is delighted in passing his time over wine, leaveth a reproach in his strong-holds.


12   The desire of the wicked is the fortification of evil men: but the root of the just shall prosper.


13   For the sins of the lips ruin draweth nigh to the evil man: but the just shall escape out of distress.


14   By the fruit of his own mouth shall a man be filled with good things, and according to the works of his hands it shall be repaid him.


15   The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that is wise hearkneth unto counsels.


16   A fool immediately sheweth his anger: but he that dissembleth injuries, is wise.


17   He that speaketh that which he knoweth, sheweth forth justice: but he that lieth, is a deceitful witness.


18   There is that promiseth, and is pricked as it were with the sword of conscience: but the tongue of the wise is health.


19   The lip of truth shall be stedfast for ever: but he that is a hasty witness, frameth a lying tongue.


20   Deceit is in the heart of them that think evil things: but joy followeth them that take counsels of peace.


21   Whatsoever shall befal the just man, it shall not make him sad: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.


22   Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord; but they that deal faithfully please him.


23   A cautious man concealeth knowledge: and the heart of fools publisheth folly.


24   The hand of the valiant shall bear rule: but that which is slothful, shall be under tribute.


25   Grief in the heart of a man shall bring him low, but with a good word he shall be made glad.


26   He that neglecteth a

loss for the sake of a friend, is just: but the way of the wicked shall deceive them.


27   The deceitful man shall not find gain: but the substance of a just man shall be precious gold.


28   In the path of justice is life: but the by way leadeth to death.
