Proverbs 12:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ A man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall never be moved.

⁴ A virtuous and worthy wife [earnest and strong in character] is a crowning joy to her husband, but she who makes him ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.^(A)

⁵ The thoughts and purposes of the [consistently] righteous are honest and reliable, but the counsels and designs of the wicked are treacherous.
