Proverbs 13:1-13

13:1A wise son responds to his father's discipline,
but a mocker doesn't listen to rebuke.
2From the words of his mouth,
a man will enjoy good things,
but treacherous people have an appetite for violence.
3The one who guards his mouth protects his life;
the one who opens his lips invites his own ruin.
4The slacker craves, yet has nothing,
but the diligent is fully satisfied.
5The righteous hate lying,
but the wicked act disgustingly and disgracefully.
6Righteousness guards people of integrity,
but wickedness undermines the sinner.
7One man pretends to be rich but has nothing;
another pretends to be poor but has great wealth.
8Riches are a ransom for a man's life,
but a poor man hears no threat.
9The light of the righteous shines brightly,
but the lamp of the wicked is put out.
10Arrogance leads to nothing but strife,
but wisdom is gained by those who take advice.
11Wealth obtained by fraud will dwindle,
but whoever earns it through labor will multiply it.
12Delayed hope makes the heart sick,
but fulfilled desire is a tree of life.
13The one who has contempt for instruction will pay the penalty,
but the one who respects a command will be rewarded.
