Proverbs 13
1 A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner
heareth not rebuke.
2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of
the transgressors shall eat violence.
3 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth
wide his lips shall have destruction.
4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul
of the diligent shall be made fat.
5 A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and
cometh to shame.
6 Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but
wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is
that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
8 The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth
not rebuke.
9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked
shall be put out.
10 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is
wisdom.
11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that
gathereth by labour shall increase.
12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh,
it is a tree of life.
13 Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth
the commandment shall be rewarded.
14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the
snares of death.
15 Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors
is hard.
16 Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open
his folly.
17 A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful
ambassador is health.
18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but
he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is
abomination to fools to depart from evil.
20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of
fools shall be destroyed.
21 Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be
repayed.
22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children:
and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
23 Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is
destroyed for want of judgment.
24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him
chasteneth him betimes.
25 The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the
belly of the wicked shall want.
