Proverbs 12:1-9 New Living Translation (NLT)

1. To learn, you must love discipline;it is stupid to hate correction.

2. The lord approves of those who are good,but he condemns those who plan wickedness.

3. Wickedness never brings stability,but the godly have deep roots.

4. A worthy wife is a crown for her husband,but a disgraceful woman is like cancer in his bones.

5. The plans of the godly are just;the advice of the wicked is treacherous.

6. The words of the wicked are like a murderous ambush,but the words of the godly save lives.

7. The wicked die and disappear,but the family of the godly stands firm.

8. A sensible person wins admiration,but a warped mind is despised.

9. Better to be an ordinary person with a servantthan to be self-important but have no food.
