Text -- Proverbs 12:6-28 (NET)

Strongs On/Off
Context
12:6 The words of the wicked lie in wait to shed innocent blood, but the words of the upright will deliver them. 12:7 The wicked are overthrown and perish, but the righteous household will stand. 12:8 A person is praised in accordance with his wisdom, but the one who has a twisted mind is despised. 12:9 Better is a person of humble standing who nevertheless has a servant, than one who pretends to be somebody important yet has no food. 12:10 A righteous person cares for the life of his animal, but even the most compassionate acts of the wicked are cruel. 12:11 The one who works his field will have plenty of food, but whoever chases daydreams lacks wisdom. 12:12 The wicked person desires a stronghold, but the righteous root endures. 12:13 The evil person is ensnared by the transgression of his speech, but the righteous person escapes out of trouble. 12:14 A person will be satisfied with good from the fruit of his words, and the work of his hands will be rendered to him. 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own opinion, but the one who listens to advice is wise. 12:16 A fool’s annoyance is known at once, but the prudent overlooks an insult. 12:17 The faithful witness tells what is right, but a false witness speaks deceit. 12:18 Speaking recklessly is like the thrusts of a sword, but the words of the wise bring healing. 12:19 The one who tells the truth will endure forever, but the one who lies will last only for a moment. 12:20 Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil, but those who promote peace have joy. 12:21 The righteous do not encounter any harm, but the wicked are filled with calamity. 12:22 The Lord abhors a person who lies, but those who deal truthfully are his delight. 12:23 The shrewd person conceals knowledge, but foolish people publicize folly. 12:24 The diligent person will rule, but the slothful will become a slave. 12:25 Anxiety in a person’s heart weighs him down, but an encouraging word brings him joy. 12:26 The righteous person is cautious in his friendship, but the way of the wicked leads them astray. 12:27 The lazy person does not roast his prey, but personal possessions are precious to the diligent. 12:28 In the path of righteousness there is life, but another path leads to death.
