Proverbs 13:1-25
[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. |
