**CHAPTER 12 The Contrast in Relation to Various Conditions**
In these proverbs we have the righteous mentioned, his thoughts, his words, his domestic relationship, his attitude toward animal creation [Proverbs 12:10](../../../kjv/proverbs/12/10) ); his diligence; all is contrasted with the wicked in these beautiful antithetic expressions of wisdom. The thoughts of the righteous are right [Proverbs 12:5](../../../kjv/proverbs/12/5) ), because his heart is right; his words bring deliverance [Proverbs 12:6](../../../kjv/proverbs/12/6) ); in speaking truth he showeth forth righteousness [Proverbs 12:17](../../../kjv/proverbs/12/17) ); his tongue is health [Proverbs 12:18](../../../kjv/proverbs/12/18) ); the lip which uttereth truth shall be established for ever [Proverbs 12:19](../../../kjv/proverbs/12/19) ); he knows nothing of lying lips, but dealing truly he is the Lord’s delight [Proverbs 12:22](../../../kjv/proverbs/12/22) ). All is summed up in one statement, with which the chapter closeth: “In the way of righteousness there is life; in the pathway thereof there is no death.” Happy are we if we know this way, which is Christ Himself, and if we follow Him.[Proverbs 12:21](../../../kjv/proverbs/12/21) speaks of the blessing of the righteous, “There shall no evil happen to the just,” that is, all things must work together for good.
