Proverbs
Chapters 12:2-8
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
2It is good to learn what pleases the Lord, because he condemns those who plan to do wrong.
3Evil people are never safe, but good people remain safe and secure.
4A good wife is like a crown to her husband, but a shameful wife is like a cancer.
5Good people are honest and fair in all they do, but those who are evil lie and cannot be trusted.
6Evil people use their words to hurt others, but the words from good people can save others from danger.
7When evil people are destroyed, they are gone and forgotten, but good people are remembered long after they are gone.
8You praise people for their intelligence, but no one respects those who are stupid.
