Proverbs 12:3-9 God's Word Translation (GW)

3. A person cannot stand firm on a foundation of wickedness,and the roots of righteous people cannot be moved.

4. A wife with strength of character is the crown of her husband,but the wife who disgraces him is like bone cancer.

5. The thoughts of righteous people are fair.The advice of wicked people is treacherous.

6. The words of wicked people are a deadly ambush,but the words of decent people rescue.

7. Overthrow wicked people, and they are no more,but the families of righteous people continue to stand.

8. A person will be praised based on his insight,but whoever has a twisted mind will be despised.

9. Better to be unimportant and have a slavethan to act important and have nothing to eat.
