| 12:1 | Whoever loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof brutish. | |
| 12:2 | A good obtaineth favor from the LORD: but a man of wicked devices he will condemn. | |
| 12:3 | A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved. | |
| 12:4 | A virtuous woman a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed as rottenness in his bones. | |
| 12:5 | The thoughts of the righteous right: the counsels of the wicked deceit. | |
| 12:6 | The words of the wicked to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them. | |
| 12:7 | The wicked are overthrown, and not: but the house of the righteous shall stand. | |
| 12:8 | A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised. | |
| 12:9 | despised, and hath a servant, better than he that honoreth himself, and is destitute of bread. | |
| 12:10 | A righteous regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked cruel. | |
| 12:11 | He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain void of understanding. | |
| 12:12 | The wicked desireth the net of evil but the root of the righteous yieldeth . | |
| 12:13 | The wicked is snared by the transgression of lips: but the just shall come out of trouble. | |
| 12:14 | A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of mouth: and the recompense of a man's hands shall be rendered to him. | |
| 12:15 | The way of a fool right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth to counsel wise. | |
| 12:16 | A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent covereth shame. | |
| 12:17 | speaketh truth showeth forth righteousness: but a false witness, deceit. | |
| 12:18 | There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise health. | |
| 12:19 | The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue but for a moment. | |
| 12:20 | Deceit in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counselors of peace joy. | |
| 12:21 | There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief. | |
| 12:22 | Lying lips abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly his delight. | |
| 12:23 | A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness. | |
| 12:24 | The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute. | |
| 12:25 | Heaviness in the heart of man depresseth it: but a good word maketh it glad. | |
| 12:26 | The righteous more excellent than his neighbor: but the way of the wicked seduceth them. | |
| 12:27 | The slothful roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man precious. | |
| 12:28 | In the way of righteousness life; and the path no death. | |
