Proverbs 12:12-14

King James Version

¹²The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.

¹³The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.

¹⁴A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.

Proverbs 12:12-14

New International Version

¹²The wicked desire the stronghold of evildoers,
but the root of the righteous endures.

¹³Evildoers are trapped by their sinful talk,^(A)
and so the innocent escape trouble.^(B)

¹⁴From the fruit of their lips people are filled with good things,^(C)
and the work of their hands brings them reward.^(D)
