Proverb Chapter 12

 Prov 12

Proverb of Solomon continues... 

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

2 it is good to furnish/issue out the will of Jehovah and a man of evil-plan will be condemned:

3 Adam establish the root of wickedness which shake the Righteous:

4 The strength/valour of a wife is in the crown of her husband, but to be disappointed/put to shame, it is a decay in her bone:

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

6 in the spoken words of the wicked is, laying ambush for blood, but the mouth of the upright will deliver. 

7 the wicked will turn-around his household - but that of the Righteous will stand firm:

8 all mouths will celebrate intelligence/insight, but it is a disrespect to pervert the mind/heart of men:

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

10 the Righteous know about the compassion (like cherishing a baby) to living creatures but the wicked are cruel 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 void of intellect:

12 the delight of the wicked in the Righteous is a snare/net that give root to his evil.

13 rebellion/revolt is evil and a trouble, the Righteous must come out of the trap by his lips:

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

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

16 the day, a fool is known for his vexation/wrath, he will cover up 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 and wound like sword, but the tongue of the wise is unto healing/health:

19 the truth from a lip will establish others for eternity, but a falsehood from a tongue will suddenly disquiet others. 

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

21 the Righteous is filled with lamentation, as the wicked exert himself on evil (in vain). 

22 A lie from a lip is abomination to Jehovah but by faith they will do HIS will:

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

24 hardworking hand will have dominion, but the one of treachery will be under burden/forced labor:

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

26 the Righteous will meander/spy out the way for his neighbor but he will go astray through a wicked. 

27 Precious is your wealth/fortune by being hardworking, whereas the hunted games of Adam were entangled by treachery. 

28 other ways are to the place of death, but the track to life is the way of righteousness.
