Proverbia 12
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
12 Qui diligit disciplinam diligit scientiam; qui autem odit increpationes insipiens est.
2 Qui bonus est hauriet gratiam a Domino; qui autem confidit in cogitationibus suis impie agit.
3 Non roborabitur homo ex impietate, et radix justorum non commovebitur.
4 Mulier diligens corona est viro suo; et putredo in ossibus ejus, quae confusione res dignas gerit.
5 Cogitationes justorum judicia, et consilia impiorum fraudulenta.
6 Verba impiorum insidiantur sanguini; os justorum liberabit eos.
7 Verte impios, et non erunt; domus autem justorum permanebit.
8 Doctrina sua noscetur vir; qui autem vanus et excors est patebit contemptui.
9 Melior est pauper et sufficiens sibi quam gloriosus et indigens pane.
10 Novit justus jumentorum suorum animas; viscera autem impiorum crudelia.
11 Qui operatur terram suam satiabitur panibus; qui autem sectatur otium stultissimus est. Qui suavis est in vini demorationibus, in suis munitionibus relinquit contumeliam.
12 Desiderium impii munimentum est pessimorum; radix autem justorum proficiet.
13 Propter peccata labiorum ruina proximat malo; effugiet autem justus de angustia.
14 De fructu oris sui unusquisque replebitur bonis, et juxta opera manuum suarum retribuetur ei.
15 Via stulti recta in oculis ejus; qui autem sapiens est audit consilia.
16 Fatuus statim indicat iram suam; qui autem dissimulat injuriam callidus est.
17 Qui quod novit loquitur, index justitiae est; qui autem mentitur, testis est fraudulentus.
18 Est qui promittit, et quasi gladio pungitur conscientiae: lingua autem sapientium sanitas est.
19 Labium veritatis firmum erit in perpetuum; qui autem testis est repentinus, concinnat linguam mendacii.
20 Dolus in corde cogitantium mala; qui autem pacis ineunt consilia, sequitur eos gaudium.
21 Non contristabit justum quidquid ei acciderit: impii autem replebuntur malo.
22 Abominatio est Domino labia mendacia; qui autem fideliter agunt placent ei.
23 Homo versatus celat scientiam, et cor insipientium provocat stultitiam.
24 Manus fortium dominabitur; quae autem remissa est, tributis serviet.
25 Moeror in corde viri humiliabit illum, et sermone bono laetificabitur.
26 Qui negligit damnum propter amicum, justus est; iter autem impiorum decipiet eos.
27 Non inveniet fraudulentus lucrum, et substantia hominis erit auri pretium.
28 In semita justitiae vita; iter autem devium ducit ad mortem.
Proverbs 12
New International Version
Proverbs 12
New International Version
12 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but whoever hates correction is stupid.(A)
3 No one can be established through wickedness,
but the righteous cannot be uprooted.(D)
4 A wife of noble character(E) is her husband’s crown,
but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.(F)
5 The plans of the righteous are just,
but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.
6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood,
but the speech of the upright rescues them.(G)
8 A person is praised according to their prudence,
and one with a warped(J) mind is despised.
9 Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant
than pretend to be somebody and have no food.
10 The righteous care for the needs of their animals,(K)
but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.
11 Those who work their land will have abundant food,
but those who chase fantasies have no sense.(L)
12 The wicked desire the stronghold of evildoers,
but the root of the righteous endures.
14 From the fruit of their lips people are filled with good things,(O)
and the work of their hands brings them reward.(P)
17 An honest witness tells the truth,
but a false witness tells lies.(V)
19 Truthful lips endure forever,
but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.
20 Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil,
but those who promote peace have joy.(Y)
21 No harm overtakes the righteous,(Z)
but the wicked have their fill of trouble.
24 Diligent hands will rule,
but laziness ends in forced labor.(AF)
25 Anxiety weighs down the heart,(AG)
but a kind word cheers it up.
26 The righteous choose their friends carefully,
but the way of the wicked leads them astray.(AH)
27 The lazy do not roast[a] any game,
but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.
28 In the way of righteousness there is life;(AI)
along that path is immortality.

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