Proverbs 12:1-8

New American Standard Bible

12 One who loves ^[a]discipline loves knowledge,
But one who hates rebuke is stupid.
² A ^(A)good person will obtain favor from the Lord,
But He will condemn a person ^[b]who devises evil.
³ A person will ^(B)not be established by wickedness,
But the root of the ^(C)righteous will not be moved.
⁴ An ^[c](D)excellent wife is the crown of her husband,
But she who shames him is like ^(E)rottenness in his bones.
⁵ The thoughts of the righteous are just,
But the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.
⁶ The ^(F)words of the wicked wait in ambush for blood,
But the ^(G)mouth of the upright will rescue them.
⁷ The ^(H)wicked are overthrown and are no more,
But the ^(I)house of the righteous will stand.
⁸ A person will be praised according to his insight,
But one of perverse ^[d]mind will be despised.
