Mishle 12:3-5

Orthodox Jewish Bible

³An adam shall not be made secure by resha, but the shoresh tzaddikim (root of the righteous ones) shall not be moved. [T.N. Cf 12:4 and 31:10.]

⁴An aishes chayil (a woman of valor, an excellent wife) is an ateret to her ba’al, but she that bringeth shame is like rottenness in his atzmot.

⁵The thoughts of the tzaddikim are right, but the tachbulot (guidance) of the resha’im are mirmah (deceitful).

Proverbs 12:3-5

New International Version

³No one can be established through wickedness,
but the righteous cannot be uprooted.^(A)

⁴A wife of noble character^(B) is her husband’s crown,
but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.^(C)

⁵The plans of the righteous are just,
but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.
