Proverbs 12:1-6 American Standard Version (ASV)

1. Whoso loveth correction loveth knowledge; But he that hateth reproof is brutish.

2. A good man shall obtain favor of Jehovah; But a man of wicked devices will he condemn.

3. A man shall not be established by wickedness; But the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

4. A worthy woman is the crown of her husband; But she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

5. The thoughts of the righteous are just; But the counsels of the wicked are deceit.

6. The words of the wicked are of lying in wait for blood; But the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
