Proverbs 13

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 A wise son [hears his] father's instruction, but a mocker doesn't listen to rebuke.

2 From the words of his mouth, a man will enjoy good things, but treacherous people have an appetite for violence.

3 The one who guards his mouth protects his life; the one who opens his lips invites his own ruin.

4 The slacker craves, yet has nothing, but the diligent is fully satisfied.

5 The righteous hate lying, but the wicked act disgustingly and disgracefully.

6 Righteousness guards people of integrity, but wickedness undermines the sinner.

7 One man pretends to be rich but has nothing; another pretends to be poor but has great wealth.

8 Riches are a ransom for a man's life, but a poor man hears no threat.

9 The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is extinguished.

10 Arrogance leads to nothing but strife, but wisdom is gained by those who take advice.

11 Wealth obtained by fraud will dwindle, but whoever earns it through labor will multiply it.

12 Delayed hope makes the heart sick, but fulfilled desire is a tree of life.

13 The one who has contempt for instruction will pay the penalty, but the one who respects a command will be rewarded.

14 A wise man's instruction is a fountain of life, turning people away from the snares of death.

15 Good sense wins favor, but the way of the treacherous never changes.

16 Every sensible person acts knowledgeably, but a fool displays his stupidity.

17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but a trustworthy courier [brings] healing.

18 Poverty and disgrace [come to] those who ignore instruction, but the one who accepts rebuke will be honored.

19 Desire fulfilled is sweet to the taste, but fools hate to turn from evil.

20 The one who walks with the wise will become wise, but a companion of fools will suffer harm.

21 Disaster pursues sinners, but good rewards the righteous.

22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his grandchildren, but the sinner's wealth is stored up for the righteous.

23 The field of the poor yields abundant food, but without justice, it is swept away.

24 The one who will not use the rod hates his son, but the one who loves him disciplines him diligently.

25 A righteous man eats until he is satisfied, but the stomach of the wicked is empty.
