New King James Version

Proverbs 12:2-7 New King James Version (NKJV)

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

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

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

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

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

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