< 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 son wise [the] discipline of a father and a mocker not he listens to a rebuke.
2 A man will get good from the fruit of his lips, but the desire of the false is for violent acts.
From [the] fruit of [the] mouth of a person he eats good thing[s] and [the] appetite of treacherous [people] [is] violence.

A word of falsehood he hates a righteous [person] and a wicked [person] he acts odiously and he may act shamefully.
6 Righteousness keeps safe him whose way is without error, but evil-doers are overturned by sin.
Righteousness it preserves integrity of way and wickedness it subverts sin.
7 A man may be acting as if he had wealth, but have nothing; another may seem poor, but have great wealth.
There [is one who] enriches himself and there not [is] anything [one who] impoverishes himself and wealth great.
8 A man will give his wealth in exchange for his life; but the poor will not give ear to sharp words.
[the] ransom of [the] life of A person [is] wealth his and a poor [person] not he hears a threat.
9 There is a glad dawn for the upright man, but the light of the sinner will be put out.
[the] light of Righteous [people] it rejoices and [the] lamp of wicked [people] it is extinguished.
10 The only effect of pride is fighting; but wisdom is with the quiet in spirit.
Only with pride it gives contention and [is] with [those who] receive advice wisdom.
11 Wealth quickly got will become less; but he who gets a store by the work of his hands will have it increased.
Wealth from vanity it will become small and [one who] gathers on hand he will increase.
12 Hope put off is a weariness to the heart; but when what is desired comes, it is a tree of life.
Hope deferred [is] making sick [the] heart and [is] a tree of life a desire [which] comes.
13 He who makes sport of the word will come to destruction, but the respecter of the law will be rewarded.
[one who] despises A word he will be pledged to it and [one] fearing a commandment he he will be rewarded.
14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning men away from the nets of death.

16 A sharp man does everything with knowledge, but a foolish man makes clear his foolish thoughts.
Every sensible [person] he acts with knowledge and a fool he spreads out foolishness.
17 A man taking false news is a cause of trouble, but he who gives news rightly makes things well.
A messenger wicked he falls in trouble and an envoy of faithfulness [is] healing.
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.
Poverty and shame [one who] ignores discipline and [one who] keeps correction he is honored.
19 To get one's desire is sweet to the soul, but to give up evil is disgusting to the foolish.
A desire done (is pleasing *LAH(b)*) to a person and [is] an abomination of fools to turn aside from evil.
20 Go with wise men and be wise: but he who keeps company with the foolish will be broken.
([one who] walks *Q(K)*) With wise [people] (he will become wise *Q(K)*) and [one who] associates with fools he will be harmed.
21 Evil will overtake sinners, but the upright will be rewarded with good.

23 There is much food in the ploughed land of the poor; but it is taken away by wrongdoing.
Abundance of food [the] unplowed ground of poor [people] and there [is what] is swept away in not justice.
24 He who keeps back his rod is unkind to his son: the loving father gives punishment with care.
[one who] restrains Rod his [is] hating son his and [one who] loves him he seeks early him discipline.
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.
A righteous [person] [is] eating to [the] satiety of appetite his and [the] belly of wicked [people] it is lacking.
