Proverbs 13 New King James Version (NKJV)Wisdom Loves Righteousness13 A wise son heeds his father’s instruction, 2 A man shall eat well by the fruit of his mouth, 4 The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; 5 A righteous man hates lying, 7 There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing; 8 The ransom of a man’s life is his riches, 9 The light of the righteous rejoices, 10 By pride comes nothing but strife, 11 Wealth gained by dishonesty will be diminished, 12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, 13 He who despises the word will be destroyed, 15 Good understanding [a]gains favor, 17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble, 18 Poverty and shame will come to him who [b]disdains correction, 19 A desire accomplished is sweet to the soul, 20 He who walks with wise men will be wise, 21 Evil pursues sinners, 22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, 24 He who spares his rod hates his son, 25 The righteous eats to the satisfying of his soul, Footnotes:
