Proverbios 12
Dios Habla Hoy
12 Amar la disciplina es amar el saber;
odiar la reprensión es ser ignorante.
2 Al hombre bueno el Señor lo aprueba,
y al pícaro lo condena.
3 El mal no es base firme para nadie;
los justos tienen raíz permanente.
4 La mujer ejemplar hace de su marido un rey,
pero la mala esposa lo destruye por completo.
5 Los hombres justos piensan en la justicia;
los malvados, sólo en el engaño.
6 Las palabras del malvado son una trampa mortal;
las del hombre justo, salvación.
7 Los malvados caen, y ése es su fin,
pero la casa de los justos queda en pie.
8 Al hombre se le alaba según su inteligencia,
pero el tonto sólo merece desprecio.
9 Más vale menospreciado pero servido,
que reverenciado pero mal comido.
10 El justo sabe que sus animales sienten,
pero el malvado nada entiende de compasión.
11 El que trabaja su tierra tiene abundancia de pan;
el imprudente se ocupa en cosas sin provecho.
12 Los malos deseos son la red de los malvados;
la raíz de los justos es permanente.
13 El malvado se enreda en sus propias mentiras,
pero el hombre justo sale bien del apuro.
14 Cada uno recoge el fruto de lo que dice
y recibe el pago de lo que hace.
15 El necio cree que todo lo que hace está bien,
pero el sabio atiende los consejos.
16 El necio muestra en seguida su enojo;
el prudente pasa por alto la ofensa.
17 El testigo verdadero declara la verdad;
el testigo falso afirma mentiras.
18 Hay quienes hieren con sus palabras,
pero hablan los sabios y dan el alivio.
19 El que dice la verdad permanece para siempre,
pero el mentiroso, sólo un instante.
20 En los planes de los malvados hay mentira;
en los consejos del hombre de paz, alegría.
21 El hombre justo jamás sufrirá ningún mal,
pero el malvado recibirá todos los males juntos.
22 El Señor aborrece a los mentirosos,
pero mira con agrado a los que actúan con verdad.
23 El inteligente no hace alarde de su saber,
pero el necio hace gala de su estupidez.
24 El que trabaja, dominará;
el perezoso será dominado.
25 La angustia deprime al hombre;
la palabra amable lo alegra.
26 El justo sirve de guía a su prójimo,
pero los malvados pierden el camino.
27 El cazador perezoso no alcanza presa,
pero el diligente alcanza grandes riquezas.
28 El camino de la justicia lleva a la vida;
el de la imprudencia lleva a la muerte.

Proverbs 12

12 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but one who hates correction is stupid.(A)
3 Man cannot be made secure by wickedness,
but the root of the righteous is immovable.(D)
4 A capable wife[a] is her husband’s crown,(E)
but a wife who causes shame
is like rottenness in his bones.(F)
5 The thoughts of the righteous are just,
but guidance from the wicked leads to deceit.
8 A man is praised for his insight,
but a twisted mind is despised.
9 Better to be dishonored, yet have a servant,
than to act important but have no food.(K)
10 A righteous man cares about his animal’s health,(L)
but even the merciful acts of the wicked are cruel.
11 The one who works his land will have plenty of food,(M)
but whoever chases fantasies lacks sense.(N)
12 The wicked desire what evil men have,[b]
but the root of the righteous produces fruit.
14 A man will be satisfied with good
by the words of his mouth,(Q)
and the work of a man’s hands will reward him.(R)
15 A fool’s way is right in his own eyes,(S)
but whoever listens to counsel is wise.
16 A fool’s displeasure is known at once,
but whoever ignores an insult is sensible.(T)
17 Whoever speaks the truth declares what is right,
but a false witness, deceit.(U)
18 There is one who speaks rashly,
like a piercing sword;(V)
but the tongue of the wise brings healing.(W)
19 Truthful lips endure forever,
but a lying tongue, only a moment.(X)
20 Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil,
but those who promote peace have joy.(Y)
21 No disaster overcomes the righteous,(Z)
but the wicked are full of misery.
23 A shrewd person conceals knowledge,
but a foolish heart publicizes stupidity.(AC)
24 The diligent hand will rule,
but laziness will lead to forced labor.(AD)
25 Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down,
but a good word cheers it up.(AE)
26 A righteous man is careful in dealing with his neighbor,[c]
but the ways of the wicked lead them astray.(AF)
