Proverbs 13:1-6

1 A wise child pays attention to what his father teaches him. But anyone who makes fun of others doesn't listen to warnings.

2 The good things a man says benefit him. But a liar loves to hurt others.

3 Anyone who guards what he says guards his life. But anyone who speaks without thinking will be destroyed.

4 People who refuse to work want things and get nothing. But the longings of people who work hard are completely satisfied.

5 Those who do right hate what is false. But those who do wrong bring shame and dishonor.

6 Doing right guards those who are honest. But evil destroys those who are sinful.
