Proverbs 13:1-18

1A WISEH2450 sonH1121 heareth his father’sH1 instructionH4148: but a scorner heareth notH3808 rebukeH1606.

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

3He that guardeth his mouthH6310 keepeth his lifeH5315: but he that openeth wideH6589 his lipsH8193 shall have destruction.

4The soulH5315 of the sluggardH6102 desireth, and hath nothingH369: but the soulH5315 of the diligent shall be madeH1878 fatH1878.

5A righteousH6662 manH7563 hateth lyingH8267: but a wickedH7563 manH7563 is loathsome, and cometh to shameH2659.

6RighteousnessH6666 guardeth him that is uprightH8537 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 noH3808 threatening.

9The lightH216 of the righteousH6662 rejoiceth: but the lampH5216 of the wickedH7563 shall be putH1846 outH1846.

10By prideH2087 cometh onlyH7535 contentionH4683: but with the well advised is wisdomH2451.

11WealthH1952 gotten by vanityH1892 shall be diminishedH4591: but he that gathereth by labour shall have increaseH7235.

12HopeH8431 deferredH4900 maketh the heartH3820 sickH2470: but when the desireH8378 cometh, it is a treeH6086 of lifeH2416.

13Whoso despiseth the wordH1697 bringeth destruction on himselfH1931: but he that feareth the commandmentH4687 shall be rewarded.

14The lawH8451 of the wiseH2450 is a fountainH4726 of lifeH2416, to departH5493 from the snaresH4170 of deathH4194.

15GoodH2896 understandingH7922 giveth favour: but the wayH1870 of the treacherousH898 is rugged.

16EveryH3605 prudentH6175 manH6175 worketh with knowledgeH1847: but a foolH3684 spreadeth outH6566 follyH200.

17A wickedH7563 messengerH4397 falleth intoH5307 evilH7451: but a faithfulH529 ambassador is healthH4832.

18PovertyH7389 and shameH7036 shall be to him that refuseth correctionH4148: but he that regardeth reproofH8433 shall be honoured.
