Proverbs 13:1-7

1 A wise son listens to his father's discipline, but a mocker does not listen to reprimands.

2 A person eats well as a result of his speaking ability, but the appetite of treacherous people [craves] violence.

3 Whoever controls his mouth protects his own life. Whoever has a big mouth comes to ruin.

4 A lazy person craves food and there is none, but the appetite of hard-working people is satisfied.

5 A righteous person hates lying, but a wicked person behaves with shame and disgrace.

6 Righteousness protects the honest way of life, but wickedness ruins a sacrifice for sin.

7 One person pretends to be rich but has nothing. Another pretends to be poor but has great wealth.
