Proverbs 13:1-15

1A wiseH2450 sonH1121 [heareth] his father's instruction; but a scorner heareth not rebukeH1606.

2A manH376 shall eatH398 goodH2896 by the fruitH6529 of his mouthH6310; but the soulH5315 of the treacherousH898, violenceH2555.

3He that guardeth his mouthH6310 keepeth his soulH5315; destruction shall be to him that openeth wide his lipsH8193.

4A sluggard's soulH5315 desireth and hath nothingH369; but the soulH5315 of the diligent shall be made fatH1878.

5A righteousH6662 [man] hateth lyingH8267; but the wickedH7563 maketh himself odiousH887 and cometh to shameH2659.

6RighteousnessH6666 preserveth him that is perfect in the wayH1870; but wickednessH7564 overthroweth the sinner.

7There is that feigneth himself richH6238, and hath nothingH369; there is that maketh himself poorH7326, and hath greatH7227 wealthH1952.

8The ransomH3724 of a man's lifeH5315 is his richesH6239; but the indigent heareth not rebukeH1606.

9The lightH216 of the righteousH6662 rejoiceth; but the lampH5216 of the wickedH7563 shall be put out.

10By prideH2087 there onlyH7535 cometh contentionH4683; but with the well-advised is wisdomH2451.

11WealthH1952 [gotten] by vanityH1892 diminisheth; but he that gathereth by manual-labour shall increaseH7235 [it].

12HopeH8431 deferred maketh the heartH3820 sickH2470; but the desireH8378 [that] cometh to pass is a treeH6086 of lifeH2416.

13Whoso despiseth the wordH1697 shall be held by it; but he that feareth the commandmentH4687 shall be rewarded.

14The teaching of the wiseH2450 [man] is a fountainH4726 of lifeH2416, to turnH5493 awayH5493 from the snaresH4170 of deathH4194.

15GoodH2896 understandingH7922 procureth favour; but the wayH1870 of the treacherousH898 is hard.
