Proverbs 12:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 12:14

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

13 ^aThe wicked is ensnared by the transgression of his lips,
^bBut the righteous will come through trouble.

14 ^aA man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth,
^bAnd the recompense of a man’s hands will be rendered to him.

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

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