Proverbs 13:1-7

1 A wise son heareth his father's instruction, but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth, but the soul of the transgressor shall eat violence.
3 He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his life, but he that openeth wide his lips shall meet 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 keepeth him that is upright in the way, but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
7 There is one that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing; there is one that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
