Proverbs 13

13A wise son loves instruction,

but a scorner listens not to rebuke.

2A good man enjoys the fruits of his speech,

but the false are greedy for rapine.

3He that guards his mouth preserves his life,

but a wide open mouth brings a man to ruin.

4The sluggard desires and has not.

but the diligent is enriched.

5A righteous man hates deception,

but the wicked act basely and shamefully.

6Righteousness guards the man of integrity,

but sin overturns the wicked.

7Some pretend to be rich, and have nothing at all;

some pretend to be poor, and are rolling in wealth.

8A man’s riches may ransom his life.

but a poor man listens not to rebuke.

9The light of the righteous shines on,

but the lamp of the wicked goes out.

10Pride causes nothing but strife.

but with those that take counsel is wisdom.

11Wealth gathered in haste will diminish,

but amassed by degrees it will grow.

12Hope deferred makes sick the heart,

but a wish fullilled is life.

13He who scorns the word will perish,

but who fears the commandment is safe.

14The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,

whereby to avoid the snares of death.

15Fine intelligence wins favour,

but the way of the false is their ruin.

16The prudent act always with insight,

but the fool flaunts his folly.

17An incompetent messenger ruins an enterprise,

but a trustworthy envoy is healing.

18To reject instruction spells shame and poverty,

but to heed admonition leads to honour.

19Sweet is desire fulfilled,

but fools hate to turn from evil.

20He that walks with the wise will be wise,

but the comrade of fools will smart for it.

21Sinners are chased by misfortune,

but good overtakes the righteous.

22The good man leaves wealth to his children’s children,

but the wealth of the sinner is stored for the righteous.

23The ground of the poor yields food in abundance,

but some by injustice are swept away.

24He that spares his rod hates his son,

but he that loves him chastises him.

25The righteous, when hungry, may eat their fill.

but the wicked are empty within.
