Proverbs Chapter 13 (NASB)

KJV ESV NIV NASB NLT

undefined A wise son [accepts his] father's discipline, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.

undefined From the fruit of a man's mouth he enjoys good, But the desire of the treacherous is violence.

undefined The one who guards his mouth preserves his life; The one who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

undefined The soul of the sluggard craves and [gets] nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made fat.

undefined A righteous man hates falsehood, But a wicked man acts disgustingly and shamefully.

undefined Righteousness guards the one whose way is blameless, But wickedness subverts the sinner.

undefined There is one who pretends to be rich, but has nothing; [Another] pretends to be poor, but has great wealth.

undefined The ransom of a man's life is his wealth, But the poor hears no rebuke.

undefined The light of the righteous rejoices, But the lamp of the wicked goes out.

undefined Through insolence comes nothing but strife, But wisdom is with those who receive counsel.

undefined Wealth [obtained] by fraud dwindles, But the one who gathers by labor increases [it].

undefined Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But desire fulfilled is a tree of life.

undefined The one who despises the word will be in debt to it, But the one who fears the commandment will be rewarded.

undefined The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, To turn aside from the snares of death.

undefined Good understanding produces favor, But the way of the treacherous is hard.

undefined Every prudent man acts with knowledge, But a fool displays folly.

undefined A wicked messenger falls into adversity, But a faithful envoy [brings] healing.

undefined Poverty and shame [will come] to him who neglects discipline, But he who regards reproof will be honored.

undefined Desire realized is sweet to the soul, But it is an abomination to fools to turn away from evil.

undefined He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will suffer harm.

undefined Adversity pursues sinners, But the righteous will be rewarded with prosperity.

undefined A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, And the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.

undefined Abundant food [is in] the fallow ground of the poor, But it is swept away by injustice.

undefined He who withholds his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him diligently.

undefined The righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite, But the stomach of the wicked is in need.
