< Proverbs 12 >
1 [one who] loves Discipline [is] loving knowledge and [one who] hates rebuke [is] stupid.
He that loves instruction loves sense, but he that hates reproofs is a fool.
2 A good [person] he obtains favor from Yahweh and a person of evil devices he condemns as guilty.
He that has found favour with the Lord [is made] better; but a transgressor shall be passed over in silence.
3 Not he is established anyone by wickedness and [the] root of righteous [people] not it is moved.
A man shall not prosper by wickedness; but the roots of the righteous shall not be taken up.
4 A wife of ability [is] [the] crown of husband her and [is] like rottenness in bones his a [woman who] acts shamefully.
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband; but as a worm in wood, so a bad woman destroys her husband.
5 [the] plans of Righteous [people] [are] justice [the] counsel of wicked [people] [are] deceit.
The thoughts of the righteous [are true] judgements; but ungodly men devise deceits.
6 [the] words of Wicked [people] [are] to lie in wait for blood and [the] mouth of upright [people] it delivers them.
The words of ungodly men are crafty; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
7 [someone] overthrows Wicked [people] and there not [are] they and [the] household of righteous [people] it endures.
When the ungodly is overthrown, he vanishes away; but the houses of the just remain.
8 To [the] mouth of prudence his he is praised a person and a [person] perverted of heart he will become contempt.
The mouth of an understanding [man] is praised by a man; but he that is dull of heart is had in derision.
9 [is] good A lightly esteemed [person] and a servant [belongs] to him more than [one who] honors himself and [one] lacking of food.
Better is a man in dishonour serving himself, than one honouring himself and lacking bread.
10 [is] knowing A righteous [person] [the] life of animals his and [the] compassion of wicked [people] [is] cruel.
A righteous man has pity for the lives of his cattle; but the bowels of the ungodly are unmerciful.
11 [one who] works Land his he will be satisfied food and [one who] pursues worthless things [is] lacking of heart.
He that tills his own land shall be satisfied with bread; but they that pursue vanities are void of understanding. He that enjoys himself in banquets of wine, shall leave dishonour in his own strong holds.
12 He covets a wicked [person] a net of evil [things] and [the] root of righteous [people] it yields produce.
The desires of the ungodly are evil; but the roots of the godly are firmly set.
13 [is] in [the] transgression of Lips a snare evil and he came out from trouble a righteous [person].
For the sin of [his] lips a sinner falls into snare; but a righteous man escapes from them. He whose looks are gentle shall be pitied, but he that contends in the gates will afflict souls.
14 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.
The soul of a man shall be filled with good from the fruits of his mouth; and the recompence of his lips shall be given to him.
15 [the] way of A fool [is] right in own eyes his and [one who] listens to advice [is] wise.
The ways of fools are right in their own eyes; but a wise man hearkens to counsels.
16 A fool on the day it is known anger his and [one who] conceals shame [is] sensible.
A fool declares his wrath the same day; but a prudent man hides his own disgrace.
17 He breathes out faithfulness he declares righteousness and a witness of lies deceit.
A righteous man declares the open truth; but an unjust witness is deceitful.
18 There [is one who] speaks rashly like thrusts of a sword and [the] tongue of wise [people] [is] healing.
Some wound as they speak, [like] swords; but the tongues of the wise heal.
19 A lip of reliability it will be established for ever and until I will grant rest a tongue of falsehood.
True lips establish testimony; but a hasty witness has an unjust tongue.
20 Deceit [is] in [the] heart of devisers of evil and [belongs] to counselors of peace joy.
[There is] deceit in the heart of him that imagines evil; but they that love peace shall rejoice.
21 Not it happens to the righteous any trouble and wicked [people] they are full distress.
No injustice will please a just man; but the ungodly will be filled with mischief.
22 [are] [the] abomination of Yahweh lips of falsehood and doers of faithfulness [are] delight his.
Lying lips are a abomination to the Lord; but he that deals faithfully is accepted with him.
23 A person sensible [is] concealing knowledge and [the] heart of fools it proclaims foolishness.
An understanding man is a throne of wisdom; but the heart of fools shall meet with curses.
24 [the] hand of Diligent [people] it will rule (and idleness *L(bah)*) it will become forced labor.
The hand of chosen men shall easily obtain rule; but the deceitful shall be for a prey.
25 Anxiety in [the] heart of a person it bows down it and a word good it makes glad it.
A terrible word troubles the heart of a righteous man; but a good message rejoices him.
26 He makes a search from friend his a righteous [person] and [the] way of wicked [people] it misleads them.
A just arbitrator shall be his own friend; but mischief shall pursue sinners; and the way of ungodly men shall lead them astray.
27 Not he roasts idleness game his and [the] wealth of a person precious diligent.
A deceitful man shall catch no game; but a blameless man is a precious possession.
28 [is] in [the] path of Righteousness life and [the] direction of a pathway may not [it be to] death.
In the ways of righteousness is life; but the ways of those that remember injuries [lead] to death.
