# Chapter 13
|
|
1. A wise child accepts a parent's discipline;
|
|
|
|
a mocker refuses to listen to correction.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Wise words will win you a good meal,
|
|
|
|
but treacherous people have an appetite for violence.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Those who control their tongue will have a long life;
|
|
|
|
opening your mouth can ruin everything.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Lazy people want much but get little,
|
|
|
|
but those who work hard will prosper.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. The godly hate lies;
|
|
|
|
the wicked cause shame and disgrace.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Godliness guards the path of the blameless,
|
|
|
|
but the evil are misled by sin.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Some who are poor pretend to be rich;
|
|
|
|
others who are rich pretend to be poor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. The rich can pay a ransom for their lives,
|
|
|
|
but the poor won't even get threatened.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. The life of the godly is full of light and joy,
|
|
|
|
but the light of the wicked will be snuffed out.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. Pride leads to conflict;
|
|
|
|
those who take advice are wise.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears;
|
|
|
|
wealth from hard work grows over time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
12. Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
|
|
|
|
but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.
|
|
|
|
|
|
13. People who despise advice are asking for trouble;
|
|
|
|
those who respect a command will succeed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. The instruction of the wise is like a life-giving fountain;
|
|
|
|
those who accept it avoid the snares of death.
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. A person with good sense is respected;
|
|
a treacherous person is headed for destruction.
|
|
|
|
16. Wise people think before they act;
|
|
fools don't--and even brag about their foolishness.
|
|
|
|
17. An unreliable messenger stumbles into trouble,
|
|
|
|
but a reliable messenger brings healing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
18. If you ignore criticism, you will end in poverty and disgrace;
|
|
|
|
if you accept correction, you will be honored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
19. It is pleasant to see dreams come true,
|
|
|
|
but fools refuse to turn from evil to attain them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
20. Walk with the wise and become wise;
|
|
|
|
associate with fools and get in trouble.
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. Trouble chases sinners,
|
|
|
|
while blessings reward the righteous.
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. Good people leave an inheritance to their grandchildren,
|
|
|
|
but the sinner's wealth passes to the godly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
23. A poor person's farm may produce much food,
|
|
|
|
but injustice sweeps it all away.
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. Those who spare the rod of discipline hate their children.
|
|
|
|
Those who love their children care enough to discipline them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. The godly eat to their hearts' content,
|
|
|
|
but the belly of the wicked goes hungry.
