Proverbs 13
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
a
mouth
keepeth
his
life:
but
he
that
openeth
wide
his
b
lips
shall
have
destruction.
4 The
soul
of
the
a
sluggard
desireth,
and
hath
nothing:
but
the
soul
of
the
diligent
shall
be
made
fat.
5 A
righteous
man
a
hateth
lying:
but
a
wicked
man
is
loathsome,
and
cometh
to
shame.
6
a
Righteousness
keepeth
him
that
is
upright
in
the
way:
but
wickedness
overthroweth
the
sinner.
7 There
is
that
maketh
himself
a
rich,
yet
hath
nothing:
there
is
that
maketh
himself
poor,
yet
hath
great
b
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
a
lamp
of
the
wicked
shall
be
put
out.
10 Only
by
a
pride
cometh
b
contention:
but
with
the
well
advised
is
wisdom.
11
a
Wealth
gotten
by
b
vanity
shall
be
diminished:
but
he
that
gathereth
by
c
labour
shall
increase.
12 Hope
deferred
maketh
the
heart
sick:
but
when
the
desire
cometh,
it
is
a
tree
of
life.
13 Whoso
a
despiseth
the
word
shall
be
destroyed:
but
he
that
feareth
the
commandment
shall
be
b
rewarded.
14 The
law
of
the
wise
is
a
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
a
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
a
shame
shall
be
to
him
that
refuseth
b
instruction:
but
he
that
regardeth
c
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
a
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
a
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
a
rod
hateth
his
son:
but
he
that
loveth
him
b
chasteneth
him
betimes.
25 The
righteous
eateth
to
the
a
satisfying
of
his
soul:
but
the
belly
of
the
wicked
shall
want.
