Proverbs 13:1-6

1 A wise son takes his father’s chastening: but a scorner does not hear rebuke.

2 Of the fruit of his mouth man shall eat well: but the soul of the transgressors shall starve.

3 He that keeps his mouth keeps his life: but he that opens his lips often shall have calamity.

4 The soul of the sluggard desires, and attains nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

5 The righteous man hates lying: but the wicked man makes himself loathsome, and abominable.

6 Righteousness keeps the one of the perfect way: but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
