Proverbs Chapter 12 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Whoso loveth <H0157> instruction <H4148> loveth <H0157> knowledge: <H1847> but he that hateth <H8130> reproof <H8433> [is] brutish. <H1198>
2: A good <H2896> [man] obtaineth <H6329> favour <H7522> of the LORD: <H3068> but a man <H0376> of wicked devices <H4209> will he condemn. <H7561>
3: A man <H0120> shall not be established <H3559> by wickedness: <H7562> but the root <H8328> of the righteous <H6662> shall not be moved. <H4131>
4: A virtuous <H2428> woman <H0802> [is] a crown <H5850> to her husband: <H1167> but she that maketh ashamed <H0954> [is] as rottenness <H7538> in his bones. <H6106>
5: The thoughts <H4284> of the righteous <H6662> [are] right: <H4941> [but] the counsels <H8458> of the wicked <H7563> [are] deceit. <H4820>
6: The words <H1697> of the wicked <H7563> [are] to lie in wait <H0693> for blood: <H1818> but the mouth <H6310> of the upright <H3477> shall deliver <H5337> them.
7: The wicked <H7563> are overthrown, <H2015> and [are] not: but the house <H1004> of the righteous <H6662> shall stand. <H5975>
8: A man <H0376> shall be commended <H1984> according <H6310> to his wisdom: <H7922> but he that is of a perverse <H5753> heart <H3820> shall be despised. <H0937>
9: [He that is] despised, <H7034> and hath a servant, <H5650> [is] better <H2896> than he that honoureth <H3513> himself, and lacketh <H2638> bread. <H3899>
10: A righteous <H6662> [man] regardeth <H3045> the life <H5315> of his beast: <H0929> but the tender mercies <H7356> of the wicked <H7563> [are] cruel. <H0394>
11: He that tilleth <H5647> his land <H0127> shall be satisfied <H7646> with bread: <H3899> but he that followeth <H7291> vain <H7386> [persons is] void <H2638> of understanding. <H3820>
12: The wicked <H7563> desireth <H2530> the net <H4685> of evil <H7451> [men]: but the root <H8328> of the righteous <H6662> yieldeth <H5414> [fruit].
13: The wicked <H7451> is snared <H4170> by the transgression <H6588> of [his] lips: <H8193> but the just <H6662> shall come out <H3318> of trouble. <H6869>
14: A man <H0376> shall be satisfied <H7646> with good <H2896> by the fruit <H6529> of [his] mouth: <H6310> and the recompence <H1576> of a man's <H0120> hands <H3027> shall be rendered <H7725> unto him.
15: The way <H1870> of a fool <H0191> [is] right <H3477> in his own eyes: <H5869> but he that hearkeneth <H8085> unto counsel <H6098> [is] wise. <H2450>
16: A fool's <H0191> wrath <H3708> is presently <H3117> known: <H3045> but a prudent <H6175> [man] covereth <H3680> shame. <H7036>
17: [He that] speaketh <H6315> truth <H0530> sheweth forth <H5046> righteousness: <H6664> but a false <H8267> witness <H5707> deceit. <H4820>
18: There is <H3426> that speaketh <H0981> like the piercings <H4094> of a sword: <H2719> but the tongue <H3956> of the wise <H2450> [is] health. <H4832>
19: The lip <H8193> of truth <H0571> shall be established <H3559> for ever: <H5703> but a lying <H8267> tongue <H3956> [is] but for a moment. <H7280>
20: Deceit <H4820> [is] in the heart <H3820> of them that imagine <H2790> evil: <H7451> but to the counsellors <H3289> of peace <H7965> [is] joy. <H8057>
21: There shall no evil <H0205> happen <H0579> to the just: <H6662> but the wicked <H7563> shall be filled <H4390> with mischief. <H7451>
22: Lying <H8267> lips <H8193> [are] abomination <H8441> to the LORD: <H3068> but they that deal <H6213> truly <H0530> [are] his delight. <H7522>
23: A prudent <H6175> man <H0120> concealeth <H3680> knowledge: <H1847> but the heart <H3820> of fools <H3684> proclaimeth <H7121> foolishness. <H0200>
24: The hand <H3027> of the diligent <H2742> shall bear rule: <H4910> but the slothful <H7423> shall be under tribute. <H4522>
25: Heaviness <H1674> in the heart <H3820> of man <H0376> maketh it stoop: <H7812> but a good <H2896> word <H1697> maketh it glad. <H8055>
26: The righteous <H6662> [is] more excellent <H8446> than his neighbour: <H7453> but the way <H1870> of the wicked <H7563> seduceth <H8582> them.
27: The slothful <H7423> [man] roasteth <H2760> not that which he took in hunting: <H6718> but the substance <H1952> of a diligent <H2742> man <H0120> [is] precious. <H3368>
28: In the way <H0734> of righteousness <H6666> [is] life; <H2416> and [in] the pathway <H5410> <H1870> [thereof there is] no death. <H4194>
