    Proverbs 13
    • 1   A wise son is a lover of teaching, but the ears of the haters of authority are shut to sharp words.
    • 2   A man will get good from the fruit of his lips, but the desire of the false is for violent acts.
    • 3   He who keeps a watch on his mouth keeps his life; but he whose lips are open wide will have destruction.
    • 4   The hater of work does not get his desires, but the soul of the hard workers will be made fat.
    • 5   The upright man is a hater of false words: the evil-doer gets a bad name and is put to shame.
    • 6   Righteousness keeps safe him whose way is without error, but evil-doers are overturned by sin.
    • 7   A man may be acting as if he had wealth, but have nothing; another may seem poor, but have great wealth.
    • 8   A man will give his wealth in exchange for his life; but the poor will not give ear to sharp words.
    • 9   There is a glad dawn for the upright man, but the light of the sinner will be put out.
    • 10   The only effect of pride is fighting; but wisdom is with the quiet in spirit.
    • 11   Wealth quickly got will become less; but he who gets a store by the work of his hands will have it increased.
    • 12   Hope put off is a weariness to the heart; but when what is desired comes, it is a tree of life.
    • 13   He who makes sport of the word will come to destruction, but the respecter of the law will be rewarded.
    • 14   The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning men away from the nets of death.
    • 15   Wise behaviour gets approval, but the way of the false is their destruction.
    • 16   A sharp man does everything with knowledge, but a foolish man makes clear his foolish thoughts.
    • 17   A man taking false news is a cause of trouble, but he who gives news rightly makes things well.
    • 18   Need and shame will be the fate of him who is uncontrolled by training; but he who takes note of teaching will be honoured.
    • 19   To get one's desire is sweet to the soul, but to give up evil is disgusting to the foolish.
    • 20   Go with wise men and be wise: but he who keeps company with the foolish will be broken.
    • 21   Evil will overtake sinners, but the upright will be rewarded with good.
    • 22   The heritage of the good man is handed down to his children's children; and the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the upright man.
    • 23   There is much food in the ploughed land of the poor; but it is taken away by wrongdoing.
    • 24   He who keeps back his rod is unkind to his son: the loving father gives punishment with care.
    • 25   The upright man has food to the full measure of his desire, but there will be no food for the stomach of evil-doers.
