Proverbs 13 The Teaching of the Wise

folk rock, yacht rock, classic California rock

A wise son heeds his father’s discipline:
but a scoffer doesn’t hear reprimand.
From the fruit of man’s mouth he will eat good:
but the soul of the faithless will eat violence.
He that watches his mouth protects his life:
but he that opens his big mouth comes to ruin.
His lazy soul desires, and has nothing:
but the souls of the diligent will become prosperous.
A righteous man hates lying: 
but a wicked man is vile and shameful.
Charity will guard him who’s way is upright:
but wickedness corrupts the sinner.
Some pretend to be rich, yet have nothing:
others pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth.
A man’s wealth may ransom his life:
but the poor get no threats.
The light of the righteous rejoices:
but the lamp of the wicked will die out.
Only by insolence comes strife:
but wisdom is with those who take advice.
Wealth gained by vanity will be diminished:
but those who gather by hard work will increase.
Hope deferred makes the heart sick:
but desire realized is a tree of life.
Whoever scorns a word will be destroyed:
but those who reveres a commandment will be rewarded.
The Teaching of the wise is a source of life,
to avoid the traps of death.
Good sense gives grace:
but the way of faithless is hard.
Every cautious person acts with knowledge:
but a fool broadcasts his foolishness.
The wicked messenger falls into evil:
but a faithful ambassador will bring healing.
Poverty and shame will befall him that refuses instruction:
but he that heeds correction will be honored.
The desire realized is sweet to the soul:
but it is an abomination to fools to turn from evil.
He that walks with the wise will grow wise:
but a companion of fools ends up hurt.
Evil pursues sinners:

but to the righteous good will be rewarded.
A good person leaves an inheritance to his grandchildren:
and the wealth of a sin is stored up for the righteous.
Much food grows from the furrows of the poor:
but it is swept away for lack of justice.
He that spares his staff hates his son:
but he that loves him disciplines him in his youth.
The righteous eats to satisfy his soul:
but the stomach of the wicked will always be empty.

A wise son heeds his father’s discipline:
but a scoffer doesn’t hear reprimand.
