Proverbs 12:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² The Lord blesses anyone who does good.
    But he judges anyone who plans to do evil.

³ No one can become strong and steady by doing evil.
    But if people do what is right, they can’t be removed from the land.

⁴ An excellent woman is her husband’s crown.
    But a wife who brings shame is like sickness in his bones.
