    Proverbs 13
    • 1   A wise son hears his father’s instruction: but a scorner hears not rebuke.
    • 2   A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.
    • 3   He that keeps his mouth keeps his life: but he that opens wide his lips shall have destruction.
    • 4   The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
    • 5   A righteous man hates lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and comes to shame.
    • 6   Righteousness keeps him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
    • 7   There is that makes himself rich, yet has nothing: there is that makes himself poor, yet has great riches.
    • 8   The ransom of a man’s life are his riches: but the poor hears not rebuke.
    • 9   The light of the righteous rejoices: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
    • 10   Only by pride comes contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.
    • 11   Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathers by labor shall increase.
    • 12   Hope deferred makes the heart sick: but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.
    • 13   Whoever despises the word shall be destroyed: but he that fears the commandment shall be rewarded.
    • 14   The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
    • 15   Good understanding gives favor: but the way of transgressors is hard.
    • 16   Every prudent man deals with knowledge: but a fool lays open his folly.
    • 17   A wicked messenger falls into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.
    • 18   Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuses instruction: but he that regards reproof shall be honored.
    • 19   The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.
    • 20   He that walks with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
    • 21   Evil pursues sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repaid.
    • 22   A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
    • 23   Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.
    • 24   He that spares his rod hates his son: but he that loves him chastens him betimes.
    • 25   The righteous eats to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.

    American King James Version
    Produced by Stone Engelbrite

    This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.

    I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.
