The Lord approves of those who are good,
but he condemns those who plan wickedness.
Wickedness never brings stability,
but the godly have deep roots.
A worthy wife is a crown for her husband,
but a disgraceful woman is like cancer in his bones.
The plans of the godly are just;
the advice of the wicked is treacherous.
The words of the wicked are like a murderous ambush,
but the words of the godly save lives.
The wicked die and disappear,
but the family of the godly stands firm.
-Proverbs 12:1-7 NLT
