The Proverbs

 

Chapter 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 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.
