NASB — Proverbs 13 — KJV

Contrast the Upright and the Wicked

  1 A awise° son° [accepts his] father’s° discipline°,
  But a bscoffer° does not listen° to rebuke°.
  2 From the fruit° of a man’s° mouth° he Iaenjoys° good°,
  But the IIdesire° of the treacherous° is bviolence°.
  3 The one who aguards° his mouth° preserves° his life°;
  The one who bopens° wide° his lips° Icomes to ruin°.
  4 The soul° of the sluggard° craves° and [gets] nothing°,
  But the soul° of the diligent° is made° fat°.
  5 A righteous° man° ahates° falsehood°,
  But a wicked° man° Ibacts° disgustingly° and shamefully°.
  6 Righteousness° aguards° the Ione whose way° is blameless°,
  But wickedness° subverts° the IIsinner°.
  7 There° is one who apretends° to be rich°, but has° nothing°°;
  [Another] Ipretends° to be bpoor°, but has great° wealth°.
  8 The ransom° of a man’s° life° is his wealth°,
  But the poor° hears° no° rebuke°.
  9 The alight° of the righteous° Irejoices°,
  But the blamp° of the wicked° goes° out.
  10 Through insolence° Icomes° nothing° but strife°,
  But wisdom° is with those who receive° counsel°.
  11 Wealth° [obtained] by Ifraud° dwindles°,
  But the one who gathers° IIby labor° increases° [it].
  12 Hope° deferred° makes° the heart° sick°,
  But desire° Ifulfilled° is a tree° of life°.
  13 The one who adespises° the word° will be Iin debt° to it,
  But the one who fears° the commandment° will be brewarded°.
  14 The Iteaching° of the wise° is a afountain° of life°,
  To turn° aside° from the bsnares° of death°.
  15 aGood° understanding° produces° favor°,
  But the way° of the treacherous° is hard°.
  16 Every° aprudent° man° acts° with knowledge°,
  But a fool° Idisplays° folly°.
  17 A wicked° messenger° falls° into adversity°,
  But aa faithful° envoy° [brings] healing°.
  18 Poverty° and shame° [will come] to him who aneglects° Idiscipline°,
  But he who regards° reproof° will be honored°.
  19 Desire° realized° is sweet° to the soul°,
  But it is an abomination° to fools° to turn° away° from evil°.
  20 aHe who walks° with wise° men° will be wise°,
  But the companion° of fools° will suffer° harm°.
  21 aAdversity° pursues° sinners°,
  But the brighteous° will be rewarded° with prosperity°.
  22 A good° man° aleaves° an inheritance° to his Ichildren’s° children°,
  And the bwealth° of the sinner° is stored° up for the righteous°.
  23 aAbundant° food° [is in] the fallow° ground° of the poor°,
  But Iit is swept° away° by injustice°°.
  24 He who awithholds° his Irod° hates° his son°,
  But he who loves° him IIbdisciplines° him diligently°.
  25 The arighteous° Ihas° enough° to satisfy° his appetite°,
  But the stomach° of the bwicked° is in need°.

Sundry observations of moral virtues, and their contrary vices (10-24).

1 ¶ A wiseº sonº [heareth] his father'sº instruction:º but a scornerºª hearethºª not² rebuke.º 2 A manº shall eatºª goodº by the fruitº² of [his] mouth:º but the soulº of the transgressorsºª [shall eat] violence.º 3 He that keepethºª his mouthº keepethºª his life:º [but] he that openeth wideºª his lipsº shall have destruction.º 4 The soulº of the sluggardº desireth,ºª and [hath] nothing:² but the soulº of the diligentº shall be made fat.ºª 5 A righteousº [man] hatethºª lying:ºº but a wickedº [man] is loathsome,ºª and cometh to shame.ºª 6 Righteousnessº keepethºª [him that is] uprightº in the way:º but wickednessº overthrowethºª the sinner.º 7 There isº that maketh himself rich,ºª yet [hath] nothing:²² [there is] that maketh himself poor,ºª yet¹ [hath] greatº riches.º 8 The ransomº of a man'sº lifeº [are] his riches:º but the poorºª hearethºª not² rebuke.º 9 The lightº of the righteousº rejoiceth:ºª but the lampº of the wickedº shall be put out.ºª 10 Only² by prideº comethºª contention:º but with² the well advisedºª [is] wisdom.º 11 Wealthº [gotten] by vanityº² shall be diminished:ºª but he that gatherethºª by² labourº shall increase.ºª 12 Hopeº deferredºª maketh the heartº sick:ºª but [when] the desireº cometh,ºª [it is] a treeº of life.º 13 Whoso despisethºª the wordº shall be destroyed:ºª but he² that fearethº the commandmentº shall be rewarded.ºª 14 The lawº of the wiseº [is] a fountainº of life,º to departºª from the snaresº² of death.º 15 Goodº understandingº givethºª favour:º but the wayº of transgressorsºª [is] hard.º 16 Every² prudentº [man] dealethºª with knowledge:º but a foolº layeth openºª [his] folly.º 17 A wickedº messengerº fallethºª into mischief:º but a faithfulº ambassadorº [is] health.º 18 Povertyº and shameº [shall be to] him that refusethºª instruction:º but he that regardethºª reproofº shall be honoured.ºª 19 The desireº accomplishedºª is sweetºª to the soul:º but [it is] abominationº to foolsº to departºª from evil.º² 20 He that walkethºª with² wiseº [men] shall be wise:ºª but a companionºª of foolsº shall be destroyed.ºª 21 Evilº pursuethºª sinners:º but to the righteousº goodº shall be repayed.ºª 22 A goodº [man] leaveth an inheritanceºª to his children'sº children:º and the wealthº of the sinnerºª [is] laid upºª for the just.º 23 Muchº foodº [is in] the tillageº of the poor:º¹ªª but there isº [that is] destroyedºª for wantº of judgment.º 24 He that sparethºª his rodº hatethºª his son:º but he that lovethºª him chastenethº him betimes.ºª 25 The righteousº eatethºª to the satisfyingº of his soul:º but the bellyº of the wickedº shall want.ºª
