Proverbs 13
1 A wise son is a lover of teaching, but the ears of the haters of authority are shut to sharp words.
A wise sonne will obey the instruction of his father: but a scorner will heare no rebuke.
2 A man will get good from the fruit of his lips, but the desire of the false is for violent acts.
A man shall eate good things by the fruite of his mouth: but the soule of the trespassers shall suffer violence.
3 He who keeps a watch on his mouth keeps his life; but he whose lips are open wide will have destruction.
Hee that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his life: but he that openeth his lips, destruction shall be to him.
4 The hater of work does not get his desires, but the soul of the hard workers will be made fat.
The sluggard lusteth, but his soule hath nought: but the soule of the diligent shall haue plentie.
5 The upright man is a hater of false words: the evil-doer gets a bad name and is put to shame.
A righteous man hateth lying wordes: but the wicked causeth slander and shame.
6 Righteousness keeps safe him whose way is without error, but evil-doers are overturned by sin.
Righteousnesse preserueth the vpright of life: but wickednes ouerthroweth the sinner.
7 A man may be acting as if he had wealth, but have nothing; another may seem poor, but have great wealth.
There is that maketh himselfe riche, and hath nothing, and that maketh himselfe poore, hauing great riches.
8 A man will give his wealth in exchange for his life; but the poor will not give ear to sharp words.
A man will giue his riches for the ransome of his life: but the poore cannot heare ye reproch.
9 There is a glad dawn for the upright man, but the light of the sinner will be put out.
The light of the righteous reioyceth: but the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
10 The only effect of pride is fighting; but wisdom is with the quiet in spirit.
Onely by pride doeth man make contention: but with the well aduised is wisdome.
11 Wealth quickly got will become less; but he who gets a store by the work of his hands will have it increased.
The riches of vanitie shall diminish: but he that gathereth with the hand, shall increase them.
12 Hope put off is a weariness to the heart; but when what is desired comes, it is a tree of life.
The hope that is deferred, is the fainting of the heart: but when the desire commeth, it is as a tree of life.
13 He who makes sport of the word will come to destruction, but the respecter of the law will be rewarded.
He that despiseth the worde, hee shall be destroyed: but hee that feareth the commandement he shalbe rewarded.
14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning men away from the nets of death.
The instruction of a wise man is as the welspring of life, to turne away from the snares of death.
15 Wise behaviour gets approval, but the way of the false is their destruction.
Good vnderstanding maketh acceptable: but the way of the disobedient is hated.
16 A sharp man does everything with knowledge, but a foolish man makes clear his foolish thoughts.
Euery wise man will worke by knowledge: but a foole will spread abroade folly.
17 A man taking false news is a cause of trouble, but he who gives news rightly makes things well.
A wicked messenger falleth into euill: but a faithfull ambassadour is preseruation.
18 Need and shame will be the fate of him who is uncontrolled by training; but he who takes note of teaching will be honoured.
Pouertie and shame is to him that refuseth instruction: but hee that regardeth correction, shalbe honoured.
19 To get one's desire is sweet to the soul, but to give up evil is disgusting to the foolish.
A desire accomplished deliteth ye soule: but it is an abomination to fooles to depart from euil.
20 Go with wise men and be wise: but he who keeps company with the foolish will be broken.
He that walketh with the wise, shalbe wise: but a companion of fooles shalbe afflicted.
21 Evil will overtake sinners, but the upright will be rewarded with good.
Affliction followeth sinners: but vnto the righteous God will recompense good.
22 The heritage of the good man is handed down to his children's children; and the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the upright man.
The good man shall giue inheritance vnto his childrens children: and the riches of the sinner is layde vp for the iust.
23 There is much food in the ploughed land of the poor; but it is taken away by wrongdoing.
Much foode is in the fielde of the poore: but the fielde is destroyed without discretion.
24 He who keeps back his rod is unkind to his son: the loving father gives punishment with care.
He that spareth his rodde, hateth his sonne: but he that loueth him, chasteneth him betime.
25 The upright man has food to the full measure of his desire, but there will be no food for the stomach of evil-doers.
The righteous eateth to the contentation of his minde: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
