        Proverbs 12
      
    </p>

<p>

      
         1.  Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
      
    <br/>

      
         2.  A good man obtaineth favour of the Lord: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
      
    <br/>

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

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

      
         5.  The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
      
    <br/>

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

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

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

      
         9.  He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, 
        and lacketh bread.
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>10.  A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the 
        wicked are cruel.</b>
      
    <br/>

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

      
         12.  The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth 
        fruit.
      
    <br/>

      
         13.  The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out 
        of trouble.
      
    <br/>

      
         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.
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>15.  The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is 
        wise.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         16.  A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.
      
    <br/>

      
         17.  He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
      
    <br/>

      
         18.  There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is 
        health.
      
    <br/>

      
         19.  The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a 
        moment.
      
    <br/>

      
         20.  Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellers of peace is 
        joy.
      
    <br/>

      
         21.  There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 22.  Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         23.  A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
      
    <br/>

      
         24.  The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 25.  Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         26.  The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked 
        seduceth them.
      
    <br/>

      
         27.  The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a 
        diligent man is precious.
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 28.  In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death.</b>
      
    <br/>
