Popular Bible Verses from Proverbs 12

Share

Sorrow in the heart of a man bows down, || And a good word makes him glad.

Whoever is loving instruction, is loving knowledge, || And whoever is hating reproof [is] brutish.

A rash speaker is like piercings of a sword, || And the tongue of the wise is healing.

The way of a fool [is] right in his own eyes, || And whoever is listening to counsel [is] wise.

The fool—his anger is known in a day, || And the prudent is covering shame.

A virtuous woman [is] a crown to her husband, || And as rottenness in his bones [is] one causing shame.

Lying lips [are] an abomination to YHWH, || And steadfast doers [are] his delight.

The righteous searches his companion, || And the way of the wicked causes them to err.

The lip of truth is established forever, || And a tongue of falsehood for a moment.
