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. |
