Wisdom on Life


Proverbs 12

A good man shall favor from God obtain,
But a man with evil things will be disdain;
A man shall not allow evil to run his life,
For he'll be filled with nothing but strife;
A worthy woman is the jewel of her husband,
For she will always submit to his command;
But of she makes her husband ashamed,
Disgrace upon her family she will be blamed;
Thoughts of the righteous are just and fair,
For they seek counsel to the Lord in prayer;
But the counsel of the wicked is deceptive,
Only fools would agree and be so receptive;
The words of the wicked just lying in wait,
For someone with boiling blood to hate;
But the righteous mouth to look another way,
He's against his peaceful heart to stray;
A man to be commended for being wise,
While a perverted heart shall be despised;
The way of the righteous is life eternal,
But for the wicked his abode is infernal.
