Proverbs 12:5-9 New International Version (NIV)
5 The plans of the righteous are just,
but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.
6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood,
but the speech of the upright rescues them.
7 The wicked are overthrown and are no more,
but the house of the righteous stands firm.
8 A person is praised according to their prudence,
and one with a warped mind is despised.
9 Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant
than pretend to be somebody and have no food.
As is usually the case in the book of Proverbs the verses above each have two parts which contrast two ways behaving. The verses show the contrast between the person who makes wise decisions in life and the one who makes foolish decisions or has wicked actions.
Think about the advice given in these verses. This is good advice which will help you live in a way which pleases God and gives you success.

MITHALI 12:5-9
5 Mawazo ya mwenye haki ni adili; Bali mashauri ya mtu mwovu ni hadaa.
6 Maneno ya waovu huotea damu; Bali kinywa cha wanyofu kitawaokoa.
7 Waovu huangamia, hata hawako tena; Bali nyumba ya mwenye haki itasimama.
8 Mtu atasifiwa kwa kadiri ya akili zake; Bali mwenye moyo wa ukaidi atadharauliwa.
9 Afadhali mtu anayedharauliwa, ikiwa ana mtumwa, Kuliko ajisifuye, ikiwa anahitaji chakula.
Kitabu cha Mithali ni kitabu cha hekima. Mistari ya juu inalinganisha matokeo ya matendo maovu na mazuri. Mistari inaonyesha umuhimu wa maamuzi au uchaguzi wa busara.
Tafakari ushauri katika mistari hapo juu. Linganisha na maisha yako. Tafuta kufanya mapenzi ya Mungu na kuona baraka zake katika maisha yako.
