Proverbs 12
1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but the one who hates correction is stupid.
He that loueth instruction, loueth knowledge: but he that hateth correction, is a foole.
2 Yahweh gives favor to a good man, but he condemns a man who makes evil plans.
A good man getteth fauour of the Lord: but the man of wicked immaginations will hee condemne.
3 A person cannot be established by wickedness, but righteous people cannot be uprooted.
A man cannot be established by wickednesse: but the roote of the righteous shall not be mooued.
4 A worthy wife is her husband's crown, but she who brings shame is like a disease that rots his bones.
A vertuous woman is the crowne of her husband: but she that maketh him ashamed, is as corruption in his bones.
5 The plans of the righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.
The thoughtes of the iust are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceitfull.
6 The words of wicked people are an ambush waiting for a chance to kill, but the words of the upright keep them safe.
The talking of the wicked is to lye in waite for blood: but the mouth of the righteous will deliuer them.
7 Wicked people are overthrown and they are gone, but the house of the righteous person will stand.
God ouerthroweth the wicked, and they are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
8 A person is praised by how much wisdom he has, but the one who makes perverse choices is despised.
A man shall be commended for his wisedome: but the froward of heart shalbe despised.
9 Better to have an unimportant position—only being a servant— than to brag about your importance but have no food.
He that is despised, and is his owne seruant, is better then he that boasteth himselfe and lacketh bread.
10 The righteous person cares about the needs of his animal, but even the compassion of the wicked is cruel.
A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the mercies of the wicked are cruell.
11 The one who works his land will have plenty of food, but whoever chases after worthless projects has no sense.
He that tilleth his lande, shalbe satisfied with bread: but he that followeth the idle, is destitute of vnderstanding.
12 The wicked person desires what evil men have stolen from others, but the fruit of righteous people comes from themselves.
The wicked desireth the net of euils: but the roote of the righteous giueth fruite.
13 An evil person is trapped by his wicked talk, but the righteous person escapes from trouble.
The euill man is snared by the wickednesse of his lips, but the iust shall come out of aduersitie.
14 From the fruit of his words a person is filled with good things, just as the work of his hands rewards him.
A man shalbe satiate with good things by the fruite of his mouth, and the recompence of a mans hands shall God giue vnto him.
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.
The way of a foole is right in his owne eyes: but he that heareth counsell, is wise.
16 A fool shows his anger at once, but one who ignores an insult is prudent.
A foole in a day shall be knowen by his anger: but he that couereth shame, is wise.
17 The one who speaks the truth says what is right, but a false witness tells lies.
He that speaketh trueth, will shewe righteousnes: but a false witnes vseth deceite.
18 The words of one who speaks rashly are like the thrusts of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
There is that speaketh wordes like the prickings of a sworde: but the tongue of wise men is health.
19 Truthful lips last forever, but a lying tongue is only for a moment.
The lip of trueth shall be stable for euer: but a lying tongue varieth incontinently.
20 There is deceit in the hearts of those who plan to do evil, but joy comes to the advisors of peace.
Deceite is in the heart of them that imagine euill: but to the counsellers of peace shall be ioye.
21 No ill comes on the righteous person, but wicked people are filled with difficulties.
There shall none iniquitie come to the iust: but the wicked are full of euill.
22 Yahweh hates lying lips, but those who live faithfully are his delight.
The lying lips are an abomination to the Lord: but they that deale truely are his delite.
23 A prudent man conceals his knowledge, but the heart of fools shouts out folly.
A wise man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of the fooles publisheth foolishnes.
24 The hand of the diligent will rule, but lazy people will be put to forced labor.
The hand of the diligent shall beare rule: but the idle shalbe vnder tribute.
25 Anxiety in the heart of a person weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.
Heauines in the heart of man doeth bring it downe: but a good worde reioyceth it.
26 The righteous person is a guide for his friend, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.
The righteous is more excellent then his neighbour: but the way of the wicked will deceiue them.
27 Lazy people would not roast their own game, but the diligent man will obtain precious wealth.
The deceitfull man rosteth not, that hee tooke in hunting: but the riches of the diligent man are precious.
28 Those who walk in the right way find life and in its path there is no death.
Life is in the way of righteousnesse, and in that path way there is no death.
