Proverbs 12:4-6

Legacy Standard Bible

^4 [a]An ^(A)excellent wife is the crown of her husband,
But she who causes shame is like ^(B)rottenness in his bones.
⁵ The thoughts of the righteous are just,
But the guidance of the wicked is deceitful.
⁶ The ^(C)words of the wicked lie in wait for blood,
But the ^(D)mouth of the upright will deliver them.
