Chapter
13

1
A wise son heareth his father’s instruction: but a scorner heareth 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 keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips
shall have destruction.

4
The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the
diligent shall be made fat.

5
A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.

6
Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness
overthroweth the sinner.

7
There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh
himself poor, yet hath great riches.

8
The ransom of a man’s life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.

9
The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put
out.

10
Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.

11
Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour
shall increase.

12
Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree
of life.

13
Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth 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 giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.

16
Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.

17
A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.

18
Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that
regardeth reproof shall be honoured.

19
The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to
depart from evil.

20
He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be
destroyed.

21
Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.

22
A good man leaveth 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 spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him
betimes.

25
The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked
shall want.
