Proverb Chapter 12

Prov 12

Proverb of Solomon continues... 

1 Whoever that love correction, love knowledge and whoever hate rebuke will be consumed:

2 it is good to furnish/issue out the will of Jehovah because any man with evil-plan will be condemned.

3 though wickedness was established from Adam who is our Root, the Righteous will still be unshakable:

4 A wife that put Husband/Master to shame is like a decay in his bone; while the one with force/capability is his crown.

5 the thoughts of the Righteous is from the verdicts, but the fraud of the wicked is by subterfuge/trick to achieve goals:

6 In the spoken words of the wicked is, laying ambush for blood, but things from the mouth of the Upright will deliver him.

7 things in the house of the wicked will be changed/turned-around, - but that of the Righteous will stand firm:

8 mouths will praise a man for his brain/intelligence, but to be of a perverted mind is unto contempt.

9 it is good to be lightly honored as a slave than being heavily honored and lack bread:

10 the Righteous absolutely know about compassion to souls (like cherishing a baby), but the wicked are merciless/cruel even to animals:

11 you will be satisfied with food/bread by tilling/laboring on the soil (adamah), but to be running after emptiness is to be destitute in your mind (void of intellect):

12 the wicked delight in the hunting-stronghold of the evil one against the Righteous, just like what was given to the Root (of mankind). (Eccl 9:12).

13 the trouble from the (Adamic) rebellion/revolt is from the evil one, but the Righteous will come out of the trap by things from his lips:

14 If Adam had turned back his hands from the fruit, the mouths of men would have been satiated with good benefit/reward. (ref: Gen 3:6)

15 the way of the foolish is wise in his own eyes but the upright will listen to advice. 

16 the day, a fool is known by his vexation/indignation, he could only cover his shame by being cunning/crafty:

17 when Justification by faith is boldly declared, it will fan breeze on the fraud of the false-witness. 

18 babbling/speaking with anger on existing thing, pierces/stabs like sword, but the tongue of the wise is unto healing/health:

19 lips with Truth will establish you for ever, but things, all of a sudden, out from a tongue, is (usually) a sham/lie. (Ps 116:11).

20 to devise fraud silently in your mind/heart is unto evil but to be advised on prosperous-peace is unto gladness.

21 where the Righteous are replenishing, is where the wicked exert themselves on evil things.

22 lips with lies is abomination to Jehovah but by faith they will do HIS will:

23 Adam should have called out for knowledge to cover the silliness in his mind/heart, but he was foolish and crafty. 

24 hardworking hand will have dominion, but that of treachery will be under tax/forced labor:

25 anxiety of a man will bow/stoop his mind/heart - but good spoken words will cheer up:

26 the Righteous will search out/spy out the way for his neighbor who would have been led astray through the wicked ones.

27 Even though Adam hunt games through narrow slits/aperture by treachery, however, costly/precious is your wealth/fortune, if you are hardworking.

28 other ways are to the place of death, but the track to Life is the path of righteousness.
