Proverbs 12:12 The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
13 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.
14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.
We see in these first two verses the wicked are always after the things that others have gained with their schemes. Also the wicked are always getting caught in the lies they tell. On the other hand in theses verses we see the righteous produce fruit with the works they do that are pleasing to God and the just always tells the truth and therefore never has a problem to worry about. Then again in verse 14 we see that the righteous can be satisfied with the fruit they produce with the spreading of the gospel. Also the works we do with our hands will be blessed by God.
I Corinthians 1:21: “For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.”
