C'mon, man! Proverbs 12 is all about how your actions can affect your life. See here, Jack, when you do what's right and right what's wrong, you can expect good things to happen. My father used to say, "Say what you mean, and mean what you say!" That's right! What was that? When you speak truthfully, it's like a shield of protection, and it's gonna bring you success. Now, if you get caught up in lies, folks, you're gonna get into a whole lotta trouble. Literally. No malarkey! I'm not joking.

But it doesn't stop there, see. People who are wise can see the future, and know what's coming. Or uh, you know, they can have a plan. But if you don't think ahead, well, it's not gonna happen. That's why if you want to be successful, you need to take the time to think things through. I tell you what, if you do that, you'll be able to handle just about anything. Excuse me.
