Proverbs 12:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² The desire of the wicked is the fortification of evil men: but the root of the just shall prosper.

¹³ For the sins of the lips ruin draweth nigh to the evil man: but the just shall escape out of distress.

¹⁴ By the fruit of his own mouth shall a man be filled with good things, and according to the works of his hands it shall be repaid him.
