Proverbs 13

A son who is wise heeds his father's reproof,
but one who's a scoffer will scorn all rebuke.

The fruit from the mouths of the just brings good things,
but those who are wicked crave what violence brings.

Those guarding their tongue will preserve their own life,
but those with wide lips come to ruin and strife.

The soul of the sluggard wants much, but has naught,
content is the diligent with much that he's got.

​​A righteous man hates what is false and unjust,
but evil men bring only shame and disgust.

Oh, righteousness safeguards the just in the way,
but wickedness ushers the sinners astray.

A man may pretend he is rich, but he's not,
another acts poor, though great wealth has he got.

The wealthy can ransom a life as a debt,
but those who are poor will not have such a threat.
