PROVERBS | CHAPTER 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.
