# Chapter 13
|
|
1 A wise son hears his father's instruction,
|
|
but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
|
|
2 From the fruit of his mouth a man eats what is good,
|
|
but the desire of the treacherous is for violence.
|
|
3 Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life;
|
|
he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
|
|
4 The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing,
|
|
while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.
|
|
5 The righteous hates falsehood,
|
|
but the wicked brings shame and disgrace.
|
|
6 Righteousness guards him whose way is blameless,
|
|
but sin overthrows the wicked.
|
|
7 One pretends to be rich, yet has nothing;
|
|
another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.
|
|
8 The ransom of a man's life is his wealth,
|
|
but a poor man hears no threat.
|
|
9 The light of the righteous rejoices,
|
|
but the lamp of the wicked will be put out.
|
|
10 By insolence comes nothing but strife,
|
|
but with those who take advice is wisdom.
|
|
11 Wealth gained hastily will dwindle,
|
|
but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.
|
|
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
|
|
but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
|
|
13 Whoever despises the word brings destruction on himself,
|
|
but he who reveres the commandment will be rewarded.
|
|
14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,
|
|
that one may turn away from the snares of death.
|
|
15 Good sense wins favor,
|
|
but the way of the treacherous is their ruin.
|
|
16 Every prudent man acts with knowledge,
|
|
but a fool flaunts his folly.
|
|
17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble,
|
|
but a faithful envoy brings healing.
|
|
18 Poverty and disgrace come to him who ignores instruction,
|
|
but whoever heeds reproof is honored.
|
|
19 A desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul,
|
|
but to turn away from evil is an abomination to fools.
|
|
20 Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise,
|
|
but the companion of fools will suffer harm.
|
|
21 Disaster pursues sinners,
|
|
but the righteous are rewarded with good.
|
|
22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children,
|
|
but the sinner's wealth is laid up for the righteous.
|
|
23 The fallow ground of the poor would yield much food,
|
|
but it is swept away through injustice.
|
|
24 Whoever spares the rod hates his son,
|
|
but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.
|
|
25 The righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite,
|
|
but the belly of the wicked suffers want. |
