Proverbs
Chapters 12:10-16
New International Version Anglicized
10The righteous care for the needs of their animals,but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.
11Those who work their land will have abundant food,but those who chase fantasies have no sense.
12The wicked desire the stronghold of evildoers,but the root of the righteous endures.
13Evildoers are trapped by their sinful talk,and so the innocent escape trouble.
14From the fruit of their lips people are filled with good things,and the work of their hands brings them reward.
15The way of fools seems right to them,but the wise listen to advice.
16Fools show their annoyance at once,but the prudent overlook an insult.
