Proverbs 12:3-8 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

3. Men shall not be strengthened by wickedness: and the root of the just shall not be moved.

4. A diligent woman is a crown to her husband: and she that doth things worthy of confusion, is a rottenness in his bones.

5. The thoughts of the just are judgments: and the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.

6. The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood: the mouth of the just shall deliver them.

7. Turn the wicked, and they shall not be: but the house of the just shall stand firm.

8. A man shall be known by his learning: but he that is vain and foolish, shall be exposed to contempt.
