Proverbs 12:1-5 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge,but he who hates reproof is brutish.

2. A good man obtains favor of the Lord,but a man of wicked devices will He condemn.

3. A man will not be established by wickedness,but the root of the righteous will not be moved.

4. A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband,but she who brings shame is as rottenness in his bones.

5. The thoughts of the righteous are right,but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
