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^[1] 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.^[2]

[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.
