Chapter 13

1


 

  A wise son -- the instruction of a father, And a scorner -- he hath not heard rebuke.  

 

 

-

2


 

  From the fruit of the mouth a man eateth good, And the soul of the treacherous -- violence.  

 

 

-

3


 

  Whoso is keeping his mouth, is keeping his soul, Whoso is opening wide his lips -- ruin to him!  

 

 

-

4


 

  The soul of the slothful is desiring, and hath not. And the soul of the diligent is made fat.  

 

 

-

5


 

  A false word the righteous hateth, And the wicked causeth abhorrence, and is confounded.  

 

 

-

6


 

  Righteousness keepeth him who is perfect in the way, And wickedness overthroweth a sin offering.  

 

 

-

7


 

  There is who is making himself rich, and hath nothing, Who is making himself poor, and wealth [is] abundant.  

 

 

-

8


 

  The ransom of a man's life [are] his riches, And the poor hath not heard rebuke.  

 

 

-

9


 

  The light of the righteous rejoiceth, And the lamp of the wicked is extinguished.  

 

 

-

10


 

  A vain man through pride causeth debate, And with the counselled [is] wisdom.  

 

 

-

11


 

  Wealth from vanity becometh little, And whoso is gathering by the hand becometh great.  

 

 

-

12


 

  Hope prolonged is making the heart sick, And a tree of life [is] the coming desire.  

 

 

-

13


 

  Whoso is despising the Word is destroyed for it, And whoso is fearing the Command is repayed.  

 

 

-

14


 

  The law of the wise [is] a fountain of life, To turn aside from snares of death.  

 

 

-

15


 

  Good understanding giveth grace, And the way of the treacherous [is] hard.  

 

 

-

16


 

  Every prudent one dealeth with knowledge, And a fool spreadeth out folly.  

 

 

-

17


 

  A wicked messenger falleth into evil, And a faithful ambassador is healing.  

 

 

-

18


 

  Whoso is refusing instruction -- poverty and shame, And whoso is observing reproof is honoured.  

 

 

-

19


 

  A desire accomplished is sweet to the soul, And an abomination to fools [is]: Turn from evil.  

 

 

-

20


 

  Whoso is walking with wise men is wise, And a companion of fools suffereth evil.  

 

 

-

21


 

  Evil pursueth sinners, And good recompenseth the righteous.  

 

 

-

22


 

  A good man causeth sons' sons to inherit, And laid up for the righteous [is] the sinner's wealth.  

 

 

-

23


 

  Abundance of food -- the tillage of the poor, And substance is consumed without judgment.  

 

 

-

24


 

  Whoso is sparing his rod is hating his son, And whoso is loving him hath hastened him chastisement.  

 

 

-

25


 

  The righteous is eating to the satiety of his soul, And the belly of the wicked lacketh!
