Proverbs 11-13
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 When pride comes, disgrace follows,
but with humility comes wisdom.(C)
3 The integrity of the upright guides them,(D)
but the perversity of the treacherous destroys them.(E)
4 Wealth is not profitable on a day of wrath,
but righteousness rescues from death.(F)
5 The righteousness of the blameless clears his path,
but the wicked person will fall because of his wickedness.
6 The righteousness of the upright rescues them,
but the treacherous are trapped by their own desires.(G)
7 When the wicked man dies,
his expectation comes to nothing,
and hope placed in wealth[a][b] vanishes.(H)
8 The righteous one is rescued from trouble;
in his place, the wicked one goes in.(I)
9 With his mouth the ungodly destroys his neighbor,
but through knowledge the righteous are rescued.
10 When the righteous thrive, a city rejoices,(J)
and when the wicked die, there is joyful shouting.
11 A city is built up by the blessing of the upright,(K)
but it is torn down by the mouth of the wicked.(L)
12 Whoever shows contempt for his neighbor lacks sense,
but a man with understanding keeps silent.(M)
13 A gossip goes around revealing a secret,
but a trustworthy person keeps a confidence.(N)
14 Without guidance, people fall,
but with many counselors there is deliverance.(O)
15 If someone puts up security for a stranger,
he will suffer for it,(P)
but the one who hates such agreements is protected.
16 A gracious woman gains honor,
but violent[c] men gain only riches.
18 The wicked man earns an empty wage,
but the one who sows righteousness, a true reward.(S)
20 Those with twisted minds are detestable to the Lord,
but those with blameless conduct are His delight.(V)
21 Be assured[d] that the wicked
will not go unpunished,(W)
but the offspring of the righteous will escape.
22 A beautiful woman who rejects good sense
is like a gold ring in a pig’s snout.(X)
24 One person gives freely,
yet gains more;(AA)
another withholds what is right,
only to become poor.(AB)
25 A generous person will be enriched,(AC)
and the one who gives a drink of water
will receive water.(AD)
26 People will curse(AE) anyone who hoards grain,
but a blessing will come to the one who sells it.(AF)
27 The one who searches for what is good(AG) finds favor,
but if someone looks for trouble, it will come to him.(AH)
29 The one who brings ruin on his household(AK)
will inherit the wind,(AL)
and a fool will be a slave
to someone whose heart is wise.
31 If the righteous will be repaid on earth,
how much more the wicked and sinful.(AN)
12 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but one who hates correction is stupid.(AO)
3 Man cannot be made secure by wickedness,
but the root of the righteous is immovable.(AR)
4 A capable wife[f] is her husband’s crown,(AS)
but a wife who causes shame
is like rottenness in his bones.(AT)
5 The thoughts of the righteous are just,
but guidance from the wicked leads to deceit.
8 A man is praised for his insight,
but a twisted mind is despised.
9 Better to be dishonored, yet have a servant,
than to act important but have no food.(AY)
10 A righteous man cares about his animal’s health,(AZ)
but even the merciful acts of the wicked are cruel.
11 The one who works his land will have plenty of food,(BA)
but whoever chases fantasies lacks sense.(BB)
12 The wicked desire what evil men have,[g]
but the root of the righteous produces fruit.
13 An evil man is trapped by his rebellious speech,(BC)
but a righteous one escapes from trouble.(BD)
14 A man will be satisfied with good
by the words of his mouth,(BE)
and the work of a man’s hands will reward him.(BF)
15 A fool’s way is right in his own eyes,(BG)
but whoever listens to counsel is wise.
16 A fool’s displeasure is known at once,
but whoever ignores an insult is sensible.(BH)
17 Whoever speaks the truth declares what is right,
but a false witness, deceit.(BI)
18 There is one who speaks rashly,
like a piercing sword;(BJ)
but the tongue of the wise brings healing.(BK)
19 Truthful lips endure forever,
but a lying tongue, only a moment.(BL)
20 Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil,
but those who promote peace have joy.(BM)
21 No disaster overcomes the righteous,(BN)
but the wicked are full of misery.
23 A shrewd person conceals knowledge,
but a foolish heart publicizes stupidity.(BQ)
24 The diligent hand will rule,
but laziness will lead to forced labor.(BR)
25 Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down,
but a good word cheers it up.(BS)
26 A righteous man is careful in dealing with his neighbor,[h]
but the ways of the wicked lead them astray.(BT)
13 A wise son responds to his father’s discipline,
but a mocker doesn’t listen to rebuke.
2 From the words of his mouth,
a man will enjoy good things,(BX)
but treacherous people have an appetite for violence.(BY)
3 The one who guards his mouth protects his life;(BZ)
the one who opens his lips invites his own ruin.(CA)
4 The slacker craves, yet has nothing,
but the diligent is fully satisfied.(CB)
5 The righteous hate lying,
but the wicked act disgustingly and disgracefully.
7 One man pretends to be rich but has nothing;(CD)
another pretends to be poor but has great wealth.(CE)
8 Riches are a ransom for a man’s life,(CF)
but a poor man hears no threat.
10 Arrogance leads to nothing but strife,(CI)
but wisdom is gained by those who take advice.
11 Wealth obtained by fraud will dwindle,(CJ)
but whoever earns it through labor[k] will multiply it.(CK)
12 Delayed hope makes the heart sick,
but fulfilled desire is a tree of life.(CL)
13 The one who has contempt for instruction will pay the penalty,(CM)
but the one who respects a command will be rewarded.(CN)
14 A wise man’s instruction is a fountain of life,(CO)
turning people away from the snares of death.(CP)
16 Every sensible person acts knowledgeably,
but a fool displays his stupidity.(CR)
17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble,
but a trustworthy courier brings healing.(CS)
18 Poverty and disgrace come to those
who ignore discipline,
but the one who accepts correction will be honored.(CT)
19 Desire fulfilled is sweet to the taste,
but to turn from evil(CU)
is an abomination to fools.
20 The one who walks with the wise will become wise,
but a companion of fools will suffer harm.
21 Disaster pursues sinners,
but good rewards the righteous.(CV)
22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his[m] grandchildren,
but the sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous.(CW)
23 The uncultivated field of the poor yields abundant food,
but without justice, it is swept away.
24 The one who will not use the rod hates his son,(CX)
but the one who loves him disciplines him diligently.(CY)
25 A righteous man eats until he is satisfied,
but the stomach of the wicked is empty.(CZ)

A Christian’s Duties to the State
13 Everyone must submit to the governing authorities,(A) for there is no authority except from God,(B) and those that exist are instituted by God. 2 So then, the one who resists the authority is opposing God’s command, and those who oppose it will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers are not a terror(C) to good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have its approval. 4 For government is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, because it does not carry the sword for no reason. For government is God’s servant, an avenger(D) that brings wrath on the one who does wrong. 5 Therefore, you must submit, not only because of wrath, but also because of your conscience.(E) 6 And for this reason you pay taxes, since the authorities are God’s public servants, continually attending to these tasks.[a] 7 Pay your obligations(F) to everyone: taxes to those you owe taxes,(G) tolls to those you owe tolls, respect to those you owe respect,(H) and honor to those you owe honor.
Love, Our Primary Duty
8 Do not owe anyone anything,[b] except to love one another, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.(I) 9 The commandments:
and whatever other commandment—all are summed up by this: Love your neighbor as yourself.(K)[e]
10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor. Love, therefore, is the fulfillment of the law.
Put On Christ
11 Besides this, knowing the time, it is already the hour(L) for you[f] to wake up from sleep,(M) for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.(N) 12 The night is nearly over, and the daylight is near,(O) so let us discard the deeds of darkness(P) and put on the armor of light.(Q) 13 Let us walk with decency,(R) as in the daylight: not in carousing and drunkenness;(S) not in sexual impurity and promiscuity; not in quarreling and jealousy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ,(T) and make no plans to satisfy the fleshly desires.(U)

Submission to Governing Authorities
13 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities,(A) for there is no authority except that which God has established.(B) The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted,(C) and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended.(D) 4 For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.(E) 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.(F)
6 This is also why you pay taxes,(G) for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes;(H) if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
Love Fulfills the Law
8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.(I) 9 The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,”[a](J) and whatever other command there may be, are summed up(K) in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[b](L) 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.(M)
The Day Is Near
11 And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come(N) for you to wake up from your slumber,(O) because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here.(P) So let us put aside the deeds of darkness(Q) and put on the armor(R) of light. 13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness,(S) not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.(T) 14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ,(U) and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.[c](V)
