Proverbs 12:2-4

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

² A good man obtains favor from the Lord, but a man of wicked devices He condemns.

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)
