Proverbios 13
Dios Habla Hoy
13 El hijo sabio acepta la corrección del padre;
el insolente no hace caso de reprensiones.
2 Cada uno recoge el fruto de lo que dice,
pero los traidores tienen hambre de violencia.
3 Cuidar las palabras es cuidarse uno mismo;
el que habla mucho se arruina solo.
4 El perezoso desea y no consigue;
el que trabaja, prospera.
5 El hombre justo odia la mentira;
el malvado es motivo de vergüenza y deshonra.
6 La rectitud protege al hombre intachable;
la maldad destruye al pecador.
7 Hay quienes no tienen nada y presumen de ricos,
y hay quienes todo lo tienen y aparentan ser pobres.
8 La riqueza del rico le salva la vida;
el pobre jamás escucha amenazas.
9 Los justos son como una luz brillante;
los malvados, como lámpara que se apaga.
10 El orgullo sólo provoca peleas;
la sabiduría está con los humildes.
11 La riqueza ilusoria, disminuye;
el que la junta poco a poco, la aumenta.
12 Esperanza frustrada, corazón afligido,
pero el deseo cumplido es como un árbol de vida.
13 El que desatiende una orden, lo lamentará;
el que respeta el mandato será recompensado.
14 La enseñanza del sabio es fuente de vida
y libra de los lazos de la muerte.
15 El buen juicio se gana el aprecio,
pero los traidores marchan a su ruina.
16 El que es prudente actúa con inteligencia,
pero el necio hace gala de su necedad.
17 El mensajero malvado acarrea problemas,
pero el mensajero fiel los alivia.
18 Pobreza y deshonra tendrá quien desprecia el consejo;
grandes honores, quien atiende la corrección.
19 El deseo cumplido es causa de alegría.
Los necios no soportan alejarse del mal.
20 Júntate con sabios y obtendrás sabiduría;
júntate con necios y te echarás a perder.
21 Los pecadores son perseguidos por el mal;
los justos, recompensados con el bien.
22 El hombre bueno deja herencia a sus nietos;
el pecador amasa fortunas que serán del justo.
23 En el campo del pobre hay comida abundante,
pero mucho se pierde donde no hay justicia.
24 Quien no corrige a su hijo, no lo quiere;
el que lo ama, lo corrige.
25 El justo come hasta estar satisfecho,
pero el malvado se queda con hambre.
Proverbs 13
Revised Standard Version
Proverbs 13
Revised Standard Version
13 A wise son hears his father’s instruction,
but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
2 From the fruit of his mouth a good man eats good,
but the desire of the treacherous is for violence.
3 He who guards his mouth preserves his life;
he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
4 The soul of the sluggard craves, and gets nothing,
while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.
5 A righteous man hates falsehood,
but a wicked man acts shamefully and disgracefully.
6 Righteousness guards him whose way is upright,
but sin overthrows the wicked.
7 One man pretends to be rich, yet has nothing;
another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.
8 The ransom of a man’s life is his wealth,
but a poor man has no means of redemption.[a]
9 The light of the righteous rejoices,
but the lamp of the wicked will be put out.
10 By insolence the heedless make strife,
but with those who take advice is wisdom.
11 Wealth hastily gotten[b] will dwindle,
but he who gathers little by little will increase it.
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
13 He who despises the word brings destruction on himself,
but he who respects the commandment will be rewarded.
14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,
that one may avoid the snares of death.
15 Good sense wins favor,
but the way of the faithless is their ruin.[c]
16 In everything a prudent man acts with knowledge,
but a fool flaunts his folly.
17 A bad messenger plunges men into trouble,
but a faithful envoy brings healing.
18 Poverty and disgrace come to him who ignores instruction,
but he who heeds reproof is honored.
19 A desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul;
but to turn away from evil is an abomination to fools.
20 He who walks with wise men becomes wise,
but the companion of fools will suffer harm.
21 Misfortune pursues sinners,
but prosperity rewards the righteous.
22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,
but the sinner’s wealth is laid up for the righteous.
23 The fallow ground of the poor yields much food,
but it is swept away through injustice.
24 He who spares the rod hates his son,
but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.
25 The righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite,
but the belly of the wicked suffers want.
