Proverbs 12 – No Bread… Lots of Stupid

Standard

God said it! Not me!  The Word ‘Stupid’! Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, But he who hates correction is stupid. Well, I love God’s correction on me, even if painful.  And I love how God reminds us to not worry about earthly things, trying to be with the ‘in crowd’ – or proclaim foolishness.

It’s like classic advice, don’t get pulled offside in football or in life. Don’t let a gossip pull you down that path to gossip too. Don’t envy (a commandment) because you end up envying the wrong stuff and the wrong people. 

Proverbs 12 – read ’em and let them steep! A cup of tea and bread for life toast. God could give it a dark roast. Proverbs in all – God corrects and gives advice most. In God’s Wisdom ONLY, I boast..

Amen and please read:

Proverbs 12 New KJV – The House of the Righteous Shall Stand

Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, But he who hates correction is stupid.

.

A good man obtains favor from the Lord, But a man of wicked intentions He will condemn.

A man is not established by wickedness, But the root of the righteous cannot be moved.

.

An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, But she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.

.

The thoughts of the righteous are right, But the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.

.

The words of the wicked are, “Lie in wait for blood,” But the mouth of the upright will deliver them.

.

The wicked are overthrown and are no more, But the house of the righteous will stand.

.

A man will be commended according to his wisdom, But he who is of a perverse heart will be despised.

.

Better is the one who is slighted but has a servant, Than he who honors himself but lacks bread.

.

A righteous man regards the life of his animal, But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

.

He who tills his land will be satisfied with bread, But he who follows frivolity is devoid of understanding.

.

The wicked covet the catch of evil men, But the root of the righteous yields fruit.

.

The wicked is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, But the righteous will come through trouble.

.

A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, And the recompense of a man’s hands will be rendered to him.

.

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But he who heeds counsel is wise.

.

A fool’s wrath is known at once, But a prudent man covers shame.

.

He who speaks truth declares righteousness, But a false witness, deceit.

.

There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, But the tongue of the wise promotes health.

.

The truthful lip shall be established forever, But a lying tongue is but for a moment.

.

Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, But counselors of peace have joy.

.

No grave trouble will overtake the righteous, But the wicked shall be filled with evil.

.

Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, But those who deal truthfully are His delight.

.

A prudent man conceals knowledge, But the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.

.

The hand of the diligent will rule, But the lazy man will be put to forced labor.

.

Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad.

.

The righteous should choose his friends carefully, For the way of the wicked leads them astray.

.

The lazy man does not roast what he took in hunting, But diligence is man’s precious possession.

.

In the way of righteousness is life, And in its pathway there is no death.
