Proverbs 12:8-14

Wisdom in Work and Reputation

Proverbs 12:8-14
8
A man shall be known by his learning: but he that is vain and foolish, shall be exposed to contempt.
9
Better is the poor man that provideth for himself, than he that is glorious and wanteth bread.
10
The just regardeth the lives of his beasts: but the bowels of the wicked are cruel.
11
He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that pursueth idleness is very foolish.
12
He that is delighted in passing his time over wine, leaveth a reproach in his strong holds. The desire of the wicked is the fortification of evil men: but the root of the just shall prosper.
13
For the sins of the lips ruin draweth nigh to the evil man: but the just shall escape out of distress.
14
By the fruit of his own mouth shall a man be filled with good things, and according to the works of his hands it shall be repaid him.
