(a) They are so grounded in the favour of God, that their
root will prosper continually.
12:6 The words of the wicked [are] to lie in wait for blood: but
the mouth of the upright shall b deliver them.
(b) As their conscience is upright, so will they be able to
speak for themselves against their accusers.
12:9 [He that is] despised, c and hath a servant, [is] better
than he that honoureth himself, and is destitute of bread.
(c) The poor man that is contemned and yet lives of his own
travail.
12:10 A righteous [man] d regardeth the life of his beast: but
the tender mercies of the wicked [are] cruel.
(d) Is merciful, even to the very beast who does him
service.
12:12 The wicked desireth the e net of evil [men]: but the
f root of the righteous yieldeth [fruit].
(e) Continually imagines ways to harm others.

that hearkeneth to counsel [is] wise.

good word maketh it glad.

declared by his words, rejoices a man, as a covetous

but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
