Proverbs 11:29-31
Those who bring ruin on their families will receive nothing but wind.
And foolish people will serve wise people.
The fruit that godly people bear is like a tree of life.
And those who are wise save lives.
Godly people get what they should get on earth.
So ungodly people and sinners will certainly get what they should get!
Proverbs 12:1-7
Anyone who loves correction loves knowledge.
Anyone who hates to be corrected is stupid.
The Lord blesses anyone who does good.
But he judges anyone who plans to do evil.
No one can become strong and steady by doing evil.
But if people do what is right, they can’t be removed from the land.
An excellent woman is her husband’s crown.
But a wife who brings shame is like sickness in his bones.
The plans of godly people are right.
But the advice of sinners will lead you the wrong way.
The words of those who are evil hide and wait to spill people’s blood.
But the speech of those who are honest saves them from traps like that.
Sinners are destroyed and taken away.
But the houses of godly people stand firm.
