Proverbs 13:1-8

1 A wise son [heareth] his father's instruction; But a scoffer heareth not rebuke.

2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth; But the soul of the treacherous [shall eat] violence.

3 He that guardeth 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 guardeth 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 wealth.

8 The ransom of a man's life is his riches; But the poor heareth no threatening.
