Proverbs 13
- A wise son heeds his father's instruction,
     but a mocker does not listen to rebuke.
- From the fruit of his lips a man enjoys good things,
     but the unfaithful have a craving for violence.
- He who guards his lips guards his life,
     but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin.
- The sluggard craves and gets nothing,
     but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.
- The righteous hate what is false,
     but the wicked bring shame and disgrace.
- Righteousness guards the man of integrity,
     but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
- One man pretends to be rich, yet has nothing;
     another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.
- A man's riches may ransom his life,
     but a poor man hears no threat.
- The light of the righteous shines brightly,
     but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.
- Pride only breeds quarrels,
     but wisdom is found in those who take advice.
- Dishonest money dwindles away,
     but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow.
- Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
     but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
- He who scorns instruction will pay for it,
     but he who respects a command is rewarded.
- The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,
     turning a man from the snares of death.
- Good understanding wins favor,
     but the way of the unfaithful is hard.
- Every prudent man acts out of knowledge,
     but a fool exposes his folly.
- A wicked messenger falls into trouble,
     but a trustworthy envoy brings healing.
- He who ignores discipline comes to poverty and shame,
     but whoever heeds correction is honored.
- A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul,
     but fools detest turning from evil.
- He who walks with the wise grows wise,
     but a companion of fools suffers harm.
- Misfortune pursues the sinner,
     but prosperity is the reward of the righteous.
- A good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children,
     but a sinner's wealth is stored up for the righteous.
- A poor man's field may produce abundant food,
     but injustice sweeps it away.
- He who spares the rod hates his son,
     but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.
- The righteous eat to their hearts' content,
     but the stomach of the wicked goes hungry.
All glory to God!
