Proverbs 13
1 A wise son [becometh so] by the correction of his father; but a scorner hearkeneth not to rebuke.
Chapa ching chun anu le apan ahilna angaijin, miduhdah lou vang chu min aphona jong iman-agel jipoi.
2 From the fruit of a man's mouth doth he eat what is good; but the longing of the treacherous is for violence.

7 There is some one that pretendeth to be rich without having any thing; another that pretendeth to be poor while having abundant wealth.
Mi kimkhat chu hao akisah lheh jin, hinlah ima aneideh poi. Mi kimkhatma chu akivai chatsah lheh jin, hinlah nei le gou kimsel-in aneiyin ahi.
8 As the ransom of a man's life [hath he often to give] his riches; but the poor heareth no threat.

23 Much food bringeth the new-tilled ground of the poor; but there are many others that are taken away through injustice.
