Proverbs 13

1 From this chapter to the five and twentieth are sundry observations of moral virtues, and their contrary vices.

 13:1 ¶ A wise 2450 son 1121 [heareth] his father's 1 instruction: 4148 but a scorner 3887 z8801 heareth 8085 z8804 not x3808 rebuke. 1606

 13:2 A man 376 shall eat 398 z8799 good 2896 by the fruit 6529 x4480 of [his] mouth: 6310 but the soul 5315 of the transgressors 898 z8802 [shall eat] violence. 2555

 13:3 He that keepeth 5341 z8802 his mouth 6310 keepeth 8104 z8802 his life: 5315 [but] he that openeth wide 6589 z8802 his lips 8193 shall have destruction. 4288

 13:4 The soul 5315 of the sluggard 6102 desireth, 183 z8693 and [hath] nothing: x369 but the soul 5315 of the diligent 2742 shall be made fat. 1878 z8792

 13:5 A righteous 6662 [man] hateth 8130 z8799 lying: 1697 8267 but a wicked 7563 [man] is loathsome, 887 z8686 and cometh to shame. 2659 z8686

 13:6 Righteousness 6666 keepeth 5341 z8799 [him that is] upright 8537 in the way: 1870 but wickedness 7564 overthroweth 5557 z8762 the sinner. 2403

 13:7 There is 3426 that maketh himself rich, 6238 z8693 yet [hath] nothing: x369 x3605 [there is] that maketh himself poor, 7326 z8711 yet y3605 [hath] great 7227 riches. 1952

 13:8 The ransom 3724 of a man's 376 life 5315 [are] his riches: 6239 but the poor 7326 z8802 heareth 8085 z8804 not x3808 rebuke. 1606

 13:10 Only x7535 by pride 2087 cometh 5414 z8799 contention: 4683 but with x854 the well advised 3289 z8737 [is] wisdom. 2451

 13:11 Wealth 1952 [gotten] by vanity 1892 x4480 shall be diminished: 4591 z8799 but he that gathereth 6908 z8802 by x5921 labour 3027 shall increase. 7235 z8686

 13:12 Hope 8431 deferred 4900 z8794 maketh the heart 3820 sick: 2470 z8688 but [when] the desire 8378 cometh, 935 z8802 [it is] a tree 6086 of life. 2416

 13:13 Whoso despiseth 936 z8802 the word 1697 shall be destroyed: 2254 z8735 but he x1931 that feareth 3373 the commandment 4687 shall be rewarded. 7999 z8792

 13:14 The law 8451 of the wise 2450 [is] a fountain 4726 of life, 2416 to depart 5493 z8800 from the snares 4170 x4480 of death. 4194

 13:15 Good 2896 understanding 7922 giveth 5414 z8799 favour: 2580 but the way 1870 of transgressors 898 z8802 [is] hard. 386

 13:16 Every x3605 prudent 6175 [man] dealeth 6213 z8799 with knowledge: 1847 but a fool 3684 layeth open 6566 z8799 [his] folly. 200

 13:17 A wicked 7563 messenger 4397 falleth 5307 z8799 into mischief: 7451 but a faithful 529 ambassador 6735 [is] health. 4832

 13:18 Poverty 7389 and shame 7036 [shall be to] him that refuseth 6544 z8802 instruction: 4148 but he that regardeth 8104 z8802 reproof 8433 shall be honoured. 3513 z8792

 13:19 The desire 8378 accomplished 1961 z8738 is sweet 6149 z8799 to the soul: 5315 but [it is] abomination 8441 to fools 3684 to depart 5493 z8800 from evil. 7451 x4480

 13:20 He that walketh 1980 z8802 with x854 wise 2450 [men] shall be wise: 2449 z8799 but a companion 7462 z8802 of fools 3684 shall be destroyed. 7321 z8735

 13:21 Evil 7451 pursueth 7291 z8762 sinners: 2400 but to the righteous 6662 good 2896 shall be repayed. 7999 z8762
