Proverbs 13
1A wiseH2450 sonH1121 heeds his father’sH1 disciplineH4148, but a mockerH3887 does notH3808 listenH8085 to rebukeH1606.
2From the fruitH6529 of his lipsH6310 a manH376 enjoysH398 good thingsH2896,but the desireH5315 of the faithlessH898 is violenceH2555.
3He who guardsH5341 his mouthH6310 protectsH8104 his lifeH5315,but the one who opensH6589 his lipsH8193 invites his own ruinH4288.
4The slackerH6102H5315 cravesH183 yet has nothingH369,but the soulH5315 of the diligentH2742 is fully satisfiedH1878.
5The righteousH6662 hateH8130 falsehoodH1697H8267,but the wickedH7563 bring shameH887 and disgraceH2659.
6RighteousnessH6666 guardsH5341 the man of integrityH8537H1870,but wickednessH7564 underminesH5557 the sinnerH2403.
7One pretends to be richH6238, but has nothingH369H3605;another pretends to be poorH7326, yet has greatH7227 wealthH1952.
8RichesH6239 may ransomH3724 a man’sH376 lifeH5315,but a poorH7326 man hearsH8085 noH3808 threatH1606.
9The lightH216 of the righteousH6662 shines brightlyH8055,but the lampH5216 of the wickedH7563 is extinguishedH1846.
10ArroganceH2087 leadsH5414 onlyH7535 to strifeH4683,but wisdomH2451 is withH854 the well-advisedH3289.
11DishonestH1892 wealthH1952 will dwindleH4591,but what is earnedH6908 throughH5921 hard workH3027 will be multipliedH7235.
12HopeH8431 deferredH4900 makes the heartH3820 sickH2470,but desireH8378 fulfilledH935 is a treeH6086 of lifeH2416.
13He who despisesH936 instructionH1697 will pay the penaltyH2254,but the one who respectsH3373 a commandH4687H1931 will be rewardedH7999.
14The teachingH84511 of the wiseH2450 is a fountainH4726 of lifeH2416,turning oneH5493 from the snaresH4170 of deathH4194.
15GoodH2896 understandingH7922 winsH5414 favorH2580,but the wayH1870 of the faithlessH898 is difficultH386.
16EveryH3605 prudentH6175 man actsH6213 with knowledgeH1847,but a foolH3684 displaysH6566 his follyH200.
17A wickedH7563 messengerH4397 fallsH5307 into troubleH7451,but a faithfulH529 envoyH6735 brings healingH4832.
18PovertyH7389 and shameH7036 come to him who ignoresH6544 disciplineH4148,but whoever heedsH8104 correctionH8433 is honoredH3513.
19DesireH8378 fulfilledH1961 is sweetH6149 to the soulH5315,but turningH5493 from evilH7451 is detestableH8441 to foolsH3684.
20He who walksH1980 withH854 the wiseH2450 will become wiseH2449,but the companionH7462 of foolsH3684 will be destroyedH7489.
21DisasterH7451 pursuesH7291 sinnersH2400,but prosperityH2896 is the rewardH7999 of the righteousH6662.
22A goodH2896 man leaves an inheritanceH5157 to his children’sH1121 childrenH1121,but the sinner’sH2398 wealthH2428 is passedH6845 to the righteousH6662.
23AbundantH7230 foodH400 is in the fallow groundH5215 of the poorH7326,but withoutH3808 justiceH4639 it isH3426 swept awayH5595.
