Proverbs 13

13A wise child accepts a parent’s discipline;

a mocker refuses to listen to correction.H2450H1121H1H4148H3887H8085H1606 2Wise words will win you a good meal, but treacherous people have an appetite for violence.H376H398H2896H6529H6310H5315H898H2555 3Those who control their tongue will have a long life; opening your mouth can ruin everything.H5341H6310H8104H5315H6589H8193H4288 4Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper.H5315H6102H183H5315H2742H1878 5The godly hate lies; the wicked cause shame and disgrace.H6662H8130H1697H8267H7563H887H2659 6Godliness guards the path of the blameless, but the evil are misled by sin.H6666H5341H8537H1870H7564H5557H2403 7Some who are poor pretend to be rich; others who are rich pretend to be poor.H3426H6238H7326H3605H7227H1952 8The rich can pay a ransom for their lives, but the poor won’t even get threatened.H3724H376H5315H6239H7326H8085H1606 9The life of the godly is full of light and joy, but the light of the wicked will be snuffed out.H216H6662H8055H5216H7563H1846 10Pride leads to conflict; those who take advice are wise.H2087H5414H4683H3289H2451 11Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time.H1952H1892H4591H6908H3027H7235 12Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.H8431H4900H3820H2470H8378H935H6086H2416 13People who despise advice are asking for trouble; those who respect a command will succeed.H936H1697H2254H3373H4687H7999 14The instruction of the wise is like a life-giving fountain; those who accept it avoid the snares of death.H8451H2450H4726H2416H5493H4170H4194 15A person with good sense is respected; a treacherous person is headed for destruction

Those who love their children care enough to discipline them.H2820H7626H8130H1121H157H4148H7836 25The godly eat to their hearts’ content, but the belly of the wicked goes hungry.H6662H398H7648H5315H990H7563H2637
