Proverbs 12:12-14

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹² A wicked man covets the fortress^[a] of evil people,
but the root of the righteous bears fruit.
¹³ The rebellion on his lips is a trap for an evil person,
but a righteous person gets out of trouble.
¹⁴ From the fruit of his lips a person is filled with good,
and the labor of a person’s hands returns to him.
