Proverbs 12:12
King James Version
“The wicked desireth the net of evil but the root of the righteous yieldeth”
Context
9despised, and hath a servant, better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
10A righteous regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked cruel.
11He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain void of understanding.
12The wicked desireth the net of evil but the root of the righteous yieldeth
13The wicked is snared by the transgression of lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.
14A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of mouth: and the recompense of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.
15The way of a fool right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel wise.
