Proverbs 12:12 Context
10A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruell. 11Hee that tilleth his land, shall bee satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vaine persons, is void of vnderstanding. 12The wicked desireth the net of euill men: but the roote of the righteous yeeldeth fruit. 13The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lippes: but the iust shall come out of trouble. 14A man shall bee satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, and the recompence of a mans hands shall bee rendred vnto him.
