Proverbs 13

King James Version w/ Apocrypha KJVA

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 .
