Chapter the Thirteenth
❦
A wise son
heareth his father’s instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
A man shall eat good by the fruit of
his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors
shall eat violence.
He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life:
but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
The soul of the sluggard desireth, and
hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
A righteous
man hateth lying: but a wicked
man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.
Righteousness keepeth
him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
There is that maketh himself rich, yet
hath nothing:
there is that maketh himself poor, yet
hath great riches.
The ransom of a man’s life
are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.
The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised
is
wisdom.
Wealth
gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but
when the desire cometh,
it is a tree of life.
Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
The law of the wise
is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors
is hard.
Every prudent
man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open
his folly.
A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador
is health.
Poverty and shame
shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but
it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.
He that walketh with wise
men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repaid.
A good
man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
Much food
is in the tillage of the poor: but there is
that is destroyed for want of judgment.
He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
