The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.12.12 the net: or, the fortress The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.12.13 The wicked…: Heb.

A fool’s wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.12.16 presently: Heb. in that day He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
