Proverbs 12:4

In context

2A good man obtains favor from Yahweh, but a man of schemes he condemns. 3No one is made secure by wickedness, but the root of the righteous will not be shaken. 4A woman of strength is her husband’s crown, but one who brings shame is like rot in his bones. 5The thoughts of the righteous are just; the guidance of the wicked is deceit. 6The words of the wicked are an ambush for blood, but the mouth of the upright rescues them.
