Proverbs 12:8-14

Wisdom in Work and Reputation

Proverbs 12:8-14
8
According to his wisdom is a man praised, And the perverted of heart becometh despised.
9
Better is the lightly esteemed who hath a servant, Than the self-honoured who lacketh bread.
10
The righteous knoweth the life of his beast, And the mercies of the wicked are cruel.
11
Whoso is tilling the ground is satisfied with bread, And whoso is pursuing vanities is lacking heart,
12
The wicked hath desired the net of evil doers, And the root of the righteous giveth.
13
In transgression of the lips is the snare of the wicked, And the righteous goeth out from distress.
14
From the fruit of the mouth is one satisfied with good, And the deed of man's hands returneth to him.
