Proverbs 12:3-11 New Century Version (NCV)

3. Doing evil brings no safety at all,but a good person has safety and security.

4. A good wife is like a crown for her husband,but a disgraceful wife is like a disease in his bones.

5. The plans that good people make are fair,but the advice of the wicked will trick you.

6. The wicked talk about killing people,but the words of good people will save them.

7. Wicked people die and they are no more,but a good person’s family continues.

8. The wisdom of the wise wins praise,but there is no respect for the stupid.

9. A person who is not important but has a servant is better offthan someone who acts important but has no food.

10. Good people take care of their animals,but even the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.

11. Those who work their land will have plenty of food,but the one who chases empty dreams is not wise.
