Proverbs 12:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ 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.

⁴ An excellent woman is her husband’s crown.
    But a wife who brings shame is like sickness in his bones.

⁵ The plans of godly people are right.
    But the advice of sinners will lead you the wrong way.
