Proverbs 12:12-14

Modern English Version

¹² The wicked covet the plunder of evil men,
    but the root of the righteous yields fruit.

¹³ The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips,
    but the just will come out of trouble.

¹⁴ A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth,
    and the recompense of a man’s hands will be rendered to him.
