Book 20 Proverbs Chapter 013
| |
| 013:001 | A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
|
| 013:002 | A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.
|
| 013:003 | He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
|
| 013:004 | The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
|
| 013:005 | A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.
|
| 013:006 | Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
|
| 013:007 | There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
|
| 013:008 | The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.
|
| 013:009 | The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
|
| 013:010 | Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.
|
| 013:011 | Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
|
| 013:012 | Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
|
| 013:013 | Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
|
| 013:014 | The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
|
| 013:015 | Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.
|
| 013:016 | Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.
|
| 013:017 | A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.
|
| 013:018 | Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
|
| 013:019 | The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.
|
| 013:020 | He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
|
| 013:021 | Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.
|
| 013:022 | A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
|
| 013:023 | Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.
|
| 013:024 | He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
|
| 013:025 | The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want. |
