Proverbs 13 (KJV)   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 transgressors shall eat violence. {3} He that keepeth his 
mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have 
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 that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself 
poor, yet hath great riches. {8} The ransom of a man's life are his riches: 
but the poor heareth not rebuke. {9} The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but 
the lamp of the wicked shall be put out. {10} Only by pride cometh contention: 
but with the well advised is wisdom. {11} Wealth gotten by vanity shall be 
diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. {12} Hope deferred 
maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. 
{13} Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the 
commandment shall be rewarded. {14} The law of the wise is a fountain of life, 
to depart from the snares of death. {15} Good understanding giveth favour: but 
the way of transgressors is hard. {16} Every prudent man dealeth with 
knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly. {17} A wicked messenger falleth 
into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health. {18} Poverty and shame 
shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall 
be honoured. {19} The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is 
abomination to fools to depart from evil. {20} He that walketh with wise men 
shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. {21} Evil pursueth 
sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed. {22} A good man leaveth 
an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is 
laid up for the just. {23} Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there 
is that is destroyed for want of judgment. {24} He that spareth his rod hateth 
his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. {25} The righteous 
eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
