Proverbs 12:3
“A man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.”
What does Proverbs 12:3 mean?
No matter how clever or powerful someone seems, building a life on dishonesty and harm eventually crumbles. There's no real stability in wickedness, no matter what it looks like on the surface. By contrast, when you live with integrity and seek to do right, you develop something unshakeable, something that holds firm when hard times come. The image here is of deep roots: a tree planted firmly in good soil won't be toppled by storms.
