# Proverbs 13 (New King James Version)
|
|
Wisdom Loves Righteousness
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 13
|
|
###### 1 A wise son _heeds_ his father's instruction,
|
|
But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
|
|
|
|
###### 2 A man shall eat well by the fruit of _his_ mouth,
|
|
But the soul of the unfaithful feeds on violence.
|
|
|
|
###### 3 He who guards his mouth preserves his life,
|
|
_But_ he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.
|
|
|
|
###### 4 The soul of a lazy _man_ desires, and _has_ nothing;
|
|
But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 A righteous _man_ hates lying,
|
|
But a wicked _man_ is loathsome and comes to shame.
|
|
|
|
###### 6 Righteousness guards _him whose_ way is blameless,
|
|
But wickedness overthrows the sinner.
|
|
|
|
###### 7 There is one who makes himself rich, yet _has_ nothing;
|
|
_And_ one who makes himself poor, yet _has_ great riches.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 The ransom of a man's life _is_ his riches,
|
|
But the poor does not hear rebuke.
|
|
|
|
###### 9 The light of the righteous rejoices,
|
|
But the lamp of the wicked will be put out.
|
|
|
|
###### 10 By pride comes nothing but strife,
|
|
But with the well-advised _is_ wisdom.
|
|
|
|
###### 11 Wealth _gained by_ dishonesty will be diminished,
|
|
But he who gathers by labor will increase.
|
|
|
|
###### 12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
|
|
But _when_ the desire comes, _it is_ a tree of life.
|
|
|
|
###### 13 He who despises the word will be destroyed,
|
|
But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.
|
|
|
|
###### 14 The law of the wise _is_ a fountain of life,
|
|
To turn _one_ away from the snares of death.
|
|
|
|
###### 15 Good understanding gains favor,
|
|
But the way of the unfaithful _is_ hard.
|
|
|
|
###### 16 Every prudent _man_ acts with knowledge,
|
|
But a fool lays open _his_ folly.
|
|
|
|
###### 17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble,
|
|
But a faithful ambassador _brings_ health.
|
|
|
|
###### 18 Poverty and shame _will come_ to him who disdains correction,
|
|
But he who regards a rebuke will be honored.
|
|
|
|
###### 19 A desire accomplished is sweet to the soul,
|
|
But _it is_ an abomination to fools to depart from evil.
|
|
|
|
###### 20 He who walks with wise _men_ will be wise,
|
|
But the companion of fools will be destroyed.
|
|
|
|
###### 21 Evil pursues sinners,
|
|
But to the righteous, good shall be repaid.
|
|
|
|
###### 22 A good _man_ leaves an inheritance to his children's children,
|
|
But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.
|
|
|
|
###### 23 Much food _is in_ the fallow _ground_ of the poor,
|
|
And for lack of justice there is waste.
|
|
|
|
###### 24 He who spares his rod hates his son,
|
|
But he who loves him disciplines him promptly.
|
|
|
|
###### 25 The righteous eats to the satisfying of his soul,
|
|
But the stomach of the wicked shall be in want.
