< Proverbs 12 >
1 A lover of training is a lover of knowledge; but a hater of teaching is like a beast.
[one who] loves Discipline [is] loving knowledge and [one who] hates rebuke [is] stupid.
2 A good man has grace in the eyes of the Lord; but the man of evil designs gets punishment from him.
A good [person] he obtains favor from Yahweh and a person of evil devices he condemns as guilty.
3 No man will make himself safe through evil-doing; but the root of upright men will never be moved.
Not he is established anyone by wickedness and [the] root of righteous [people] not it is moved.
4 A woman of virtue is a crown to her husband; but she whose behaviour is a cause of shame is like a wasting disease in his bones.
A wife of ability [is] [the] crown of husband her and [is] like rottenness in bones his a [woman who] acts shamefully.
5 The purposes of upright men are right, but the designs of evil-doers are deceit.
[the] plans of Righteous [people] [are] justice [the] counsel of wicked [people] [are] deceit.
6 The words of sinners are destruction for the upright; but the mouth of upright men is their salvation.
[the] words of Wicked [people] [are] to lie in wait for blood and [the] mouth of upright [people] it delivers them.
7 Evil-doers are overturned and never seen again, but the house of upright men will keep its place.
[someone] overthrows Wicked [people] and there not [are] they and [the] household of righteous [people] it endures.
8 A man will be praised in the measure of his wisdom, but a wrong-minded man will be looked down on.
To [the] mouth of prudence his he is praised a person and a [person] perverted of heart he will become contempt.
9 He who is of low position and has a servant, is better than one who has a high opinion of himself and is in need of bread.
[is] good A lightly esteemed [person] and a servant [belongs] to him more than [one who] honors himself and [one] lacking of food.
10 An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evil-doers are cruel.
[is] knowing A righteous [person] [the] life of animals his and [the] compassion of wicked [people] [is] cruel.
11 He who does work on his land will not be short of bread; but he who goes after foolish men is without sense.
[one who] works Land his he will be satisfied food and [one who] pursues worthless things [is] lacking of heart.
12 The resting-place of the sinner will come to destruction, but the root of upright men is for ever.
He covets a wicked [person] a net of evil [things] and [the] root of righteous [people] it yields produce.
13 In the sin of the lips is a net which takes the sinner, but the upright man will come out of trouble.
[is] in [the] transgression of Lips a snare evil and he came out from trouble a righteous [person].
14 From the fruit of his mouth will a man have good food in full measure, and the work of a man's hands will be rewarded.
From [the] fruit of [the] mouth of a person he will be satisfied good thing[s] and [the] dealing of [the] hands of a person (he will repay *Q(K)*) to him.
15 The way of the foolish man seems right to him? but the wise man gives ear to suggestions.
[the] way of A fool [is] right in own eyes his and [one who] listens to advice [is] wise.
16 A foolish man lets his trouble be openly seen, but a sharp man keeps shame secret.
A fool on the day it is known anger his and [one who] conceals shame [is] sensible.
17 The breathing out of true words gives knowledge of righteousness; but a false witness gives out deceit.
He breathes out faithfulness he declares righteousness and a witness of lies deceit.
18 There are some whose uncontrolled talk is like the wounds of a sword, but the tongue of the wise makes one well again.
There [is one who] speaks rashly like thrusts of a sword and [the] tongue of wise [people] [is] healing.
19 True lips are certain for ever, but a false tongue is only for a minute.
A lip of reliability it will be established for ever and until I will grant rest a tongue of falsehood.
20 Deceit is in the heart of those whose designs are evil, but for those purposing peace there is joy.
Deceit [is] in [the] heart of devisers of evil and [belongs] to counselors of peace joy.
21 No trouble will come to upright men, but sinners will be full of evil.
Not it happens to the righteous any trouble and wicked [people] they are full distress.
22 False lips are hated by the Lord, but those whose acts are true are his delight.
[are] [the] abomination of Yahweh lips of falsehood and doers of faithfulness [are] delight his.
23 A sharp man keeps back his knowledge; but the heart of foolish men makes clear their foolish thoughts.
A person sensible [is] concealing knowledge and [the] heart of fools it proclaims foolishness.
24 The hand of the ready worker will have authority, but he who is slow in his work will be put to forced work.
[the] hand of Diligent [people] it will rule (and idleness *L(bah)*) it will become forced labor.
25 Care in the heart of a man makes it weighted down, but a good word makes it glad.
Anxiety in [the] heart of a person it bows down it and a word good it makes glad it.
26 The upright man is a guide to his neighbour, but the way of evil-doers is a cause of error to them.
He makes a search from friend his a righteous [person] and [the] way of wicked [people] it misleads them.
27 He who is slow in his work does not go in search of food; but the ready worker gets much wealth.
Not he roasts idleness game his and [the] wealth of a person precious diligent.
28 In the road of righteousness is life, but the way of the evil-doer goes to death.
[is] in [the] path of Righteousness life and [the] direction of a pathway may not [it be to] death.
