  • Proverbs 12:1-10 (ESV) 

    1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,

    but he who hates reproof is stupid.

    2 A good man obtains favor from the Lord,

    but a man of evil devices he condemns.

    3 No one is established by wickedness,

    but the root of the righteous will never be moved.

    4 An excellent wife is the crown of her husband,

    but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones.

    5 The thoughts of the righteous are just;

    the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.

    6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood,

    but the mouth of the upright delivers them.

    7 The wicked are overthrown and are no more,

    but the house of the righteous will stand.

    8 A man is commended according to his good sense,

    but one of twisted mind is despised.

    9 Better to be lowly and have a servant

    than to play the great man and lack bread.

    10 Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast,

    but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.

    Prayer
