Proverbs 13:1-7

King James Version

13 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.
