Proverbs 13

1A wiseH2450 sonH1121hearethhis father’sH1 instruction; But a scoffer heareth not rebukeH1606.2A manH376 shall eatH398 goodH2896 by the fruitH6529 of his mouthH6310; But the soulH5315 of the treacherousH898shall eatH398violenceH2555.3He that guardeth his mouthH6310 keepeth his lifeH5315; Buthe that openeth wide his lipsH8193 shall have destruction.4The soulH5315 of the sluggardH6102 desireth, and hath nothingH369; But the soulH5315 of the diligent shall be made fatH1878.5A righteousH6662 man hateth lyingH8267; But a wickedH7563 man is loathsome, and cometh to shameH2659.6RighteousnessH6666 guardeth him that is upright in the wayH1870; But wickednessH7564 overthroweth the sinner.7There is that maketh himself richH6238, yet hath nothingH369: There is that maketh himself poorH7326, yet hath greatH7227 wealthH1952.8The ransomH3724 of a man’sH376 lifeH5315 is his richesH6239; But the poorH7326 heareth no threatening.9The lightH216 of the righteousH6662 rejoiceth; But the lampH5216 of the wickedH7563 shall be put out.10By prideH2087 cometh onlyH7535 contentionH4683; But with the well-advised is wisdomH2451.11WealthH1952 gotten by vanityH1892 shall be diminishedH4591; But he that gathereth by labor shall have increaseH7235.12HopeH8431 deferred maketh the heartH3820 sickH2470; But when the desireH8378 cometh, it is a treeH6086 of lifeH2416.13Whoso despiseth the wordH1697 bringeth destruction on himself; But he that feareth the commandmentH4687 shall be rewarded.14The lawH8451 of the wiseH2450 is a fountainH4726 of lifeH2416, That oneH2416 may departH5493 from the snaresH4170 of deathH4194.15GoodH2896 understandingH7922 giveth favorH2580; But the wayH1870 of the transgressor is hard.16Every prudent man worketh with knowledgeH1847; But a foolH3684 flaunteth his follyH200.17A wickedH7563 messengerH4397 falleth into evilH7451; But a faithfulH529 ambassador is health.18PovertyH7389 and shameH7036shall be tohim that refuseth correctionH4148; But he that regardeth reproof shall be honoredH3513.19The desireH8378 accomplished is sweet to the soulH5315; But it is an abominationH8441 to foolsH3684 to departH5493 from evilH7451.20WalkH1980 with wiseH2450 men, and thou shalt be wiseH2450; But the companion of foolsH3684 shall smart for it.21EvilH7451 pursueth sinnersH2400; But the righteousH6662 shall be recompensed with goodH2896.22A goodH2896 man leaveth an inheritanceH5157 to his children’s children; And the wealthH2428 of the sinnerH2398 is laid up for the righteousH6662.23Much foodH400is inthe tillage of the poorH7326; But there is that is destroyed by reason of injustice.24He that spareth his rodH7626 hateth his sonH1121; But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.25The righteousH6662 eateth to the satisfying of his soulH5315; But the bellyH990 of the wickedH7563 shall want.
