PRO 13:1–13:25 ©

The Book of Proverbs 13

13Wise sons pay attention when their fathers instruct them,

but people who ridicule other people do not pay attention when people correct them.

2What people say will enable them to eat good food,

but people who act treacherously only want to act violently.

3People who are careful about what they say enable themselves to stay alive,

but people who speak carelessly destroy themselves.

4Lazy people always want something but never receive it,

but people who work hard will receive more than what they want.

5Righteous people detest speaking falsely,

but wicked people are disgusting and disgraceful.

6Acting righteously enables people who act blamelessly to be safe,

but acting wickedly causes sinful people to do what will destroy them.

7Some people act as if they are wealthy while they are actually poor.

Other people act as if they are poor while they are actually wealthy.

8Rich people might have to pay money to someone who threatens them in order to stay alive,

but poor people do not even listen when someone threatens them.

9Righteous people live joyfully like a light that shines brightly,

but wicked people will merely die like an oil lamp that stops burning oil.

10People acting proudly only causes people to argue,

but people whom others advise are wise.

11Riches that people gain effortlessly will diminish;

but people who gain riches by working hard will increase their riches.

12People despair when they do not receive what they hope to receive,

but receiving what people want to receive is like a tree with fruit that keeps those people alive.

13People who detest what others try to teach them will suffer for doing so,

but God will reward those very people who reverently fear what he has commanded.

14What wise people teach is like a spring that enables people to live for a long time.

It enables people to avoid what could kill them.

15People approve of people who are very insightful,

but how treacherous people live is harsh.

16All clever people act according to what they know,

but stupid people show how foolish they are by how they act.

17Bad things happen to messengers who are not reliable,

but reliable messengers help people heal.

18People who do not let other people correct them will be poor and ashamed,

but people will respect those people who let other people rebuke them.

19People feel pleasant when they get what they want,

but stupid people detest refusing to do what is evil.

20People who associate with wise people will become wise themselves,

but people who are companions of stupid people will agonize.

21Bad things happen to sinful people,

but good things happen to righteous people.

22Good people will leave riches for their grandchildren when they die,

but righteous people will receive the riches that sinful people have saved.

23Poor people have fields that can produce a lot of food,

but unjust people take it all away from them.

24Parents who do not physically punish their children act as if they hate their children,

but parents who truly love their children are careful to discipline them.

25Righteous people eat enough food to satisfy themselves,

but wicked people are always hungry.
