Proverbs 12 - Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling(WBMS)

CHAPTER 12

1He that loveth chastising [or discipline], loveth knowing; but he that hateth blamings, is unwise.

2He that is good, shall draw to himself grace of the Lord; but he that trusteth in his thoughts, doeth wickedly.

3A man shall not be made strong by wickedness; and the root of just [or rightwise] men shall not be moved.

4A diligent woman is a crown to her husband; and rot is in the bones of that woman, that doeth things worthy of confusion.

5The thoughts of just [or rightwise] men be dooms; and the counsels of wicked men be guileful.

6The words of wicked men set treason to blood; the mouth of just [or rightwise] men shall deliver them.

7Overturn thou wicked men, and they shall not be; but the houses of just [or rightwise] men shall dwell perfectly.

8A man shall be known by his teaching; but he that is vain and heartless, shall be open to despising.

9Better is a poor man, and sufficient to himself, than a glorious man, and needy of bread.

10A just [or rightwise] man knoweth the lives of his work beasts; but the entrails of wicked men be cruel.

11He that worketh his land, shall be filled with loaves; but he that pursueth [or followeth] idleness, is most foolish. He that is sweet, that is mild, liveth in temperances; and in his admonishings he forsaketh despisings.

12The desire of a wicked man is the memorial of worst things; but the root of just [or rightwise] men shall increase.

13For the sins of lips, falling down nigheth to an evil man; but a just [or rightwise] man shall escape from anguish.

14Of the fruit of his mouth each man shall be [ful] filled with goods; and by the works of his hands it shall be yielded to him.

15The way of a fool is rightful [or right] in his eyes; but he that is wise, heareth counsels.

16A fool showeth anon his ire; but he that dissembleth wrongs, is wise.

17He that speaketh that, that he knoweth, is a judge of rightfulness [or of rightwiseness]; but he that lieth, is a guileful witness.

18A man is that promiseth, and he is pricked as with the sword of conscience; but the tongue of wise men is health.

19The lip of truth shall be steadfast without end; but he that is a sudden witness, maketh ready the tongue of leasing.

20Guile is in the heart of them that think evils; but joy pursueth [or followeth] them that make counsels of peace.

21Whatever befalleth to a just [or rightwise] man, it shall not make him sorry [or sorrow]; but wicked men shall be filled with evil.

22False lips is abomination to the Lord; but they that do faithfully, please him.

23A fell man covereth knowing; and the heart of unwise men stirreth folly.

24The hand of strong men shall have lordship; but the hand that is slow, shall serve to tributes.

25Mourning in the heart of a just [or rightwise] man shall make him meek; and he shall be made glad by a good word.

26He that despiseth harm for a friend, is a just [or rightwise] man; but the way of wicked men shall deceive them.

27A guileful man shall not find winning; and the substance of a diligent man shall be the price of gold, that is, preciouser than gold.

28Life is in the path of rightwiseness; but the wrong way leadeth to death.
