Proverbs:13-15

A wise son heareth his father '
s instruction :
but a scorner heareth not rebuke .

He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life :
but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction .

and hath nothing :
but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat .

A righteous man hateth lying :
but a wicked man is loathsome ,
and cometh to shame .

yet hath nothing :
there is that maketh himself poor ,
yet hath great riches .

Only by pride cometh contention :
but with the well advised is wisdom .

but when the desire cometh ,
it is a tree of life .

to depart from the snares of death .

*
He that walketh with wise men shall be wise :
but a companion of fools shall be destroyed .
*
Evil pursueth sinners :
but to the righteous good shall be repayed .
*
A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children '
s children :
and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just .

The house of the wicked shall be overthrown :
but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish .
*
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man ,
but the end thereof are the ways of death .

Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful ;
and the end of that mirth is heaviness .

The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways :
and a good man shall be satisfied from himself .

The simple believeth every word :
but the prudent man looketh well to his going .

but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly .

A sound heart is the life of the flesh :
but envy the rottenness of the bones .
*
He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker :
but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor .
*
The wicked is driven away in his wickedness :
but the righteous hath hope in his death .
*
Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding :
but that which is in the midst of fools is made known .
*
Righteousness exalteth a nation :
but sin is a reproach to any people .
*
The king '
s favour is toward a wise servant :
but his wrath is against him that causeth shame .
*
A soft answer turneth away wrath :
but grievous words stir up anger .
*
The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright :
but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness .
*
The eyes of the LORD are in every place ,
beholding the evil and the good .

but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit .
*
A fool despiseth his father '
s instruction :

The lips of the wise disperse knowledge :
but the heart of the foolish doeth not so .
*
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD :
but the prayer of the upright is his delight .
*
The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD :
but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness .
*
Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way :
and he that hateth reproof shall die .
*
Hell and destruction are before the LORD :
how much more then the hearts of the children of men ?
*
A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him :
neither will he go unto the wise .
*
A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance :
but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken .
*
The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge :
but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness .
*
All the days of the afflicted are evil :
but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast .
*
Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith .
*
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is ,
than a stalled ox and hatred therewith .
*
A wrathful man stirreth up strife :
but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife .
*
The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns :
but the way of the righteous is made plain .
*
A wise son maketh a glad father :
but a foolish man despiseth his mother .
*
Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom :
but a man of understanding walketh uprightly .
*
Without counsel purposes are disappointed :
but in the multitude of counsellors they are established .
*
A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth :
and a word spoken in due season ,
how good is it !
*
The way of life is above to the wise ,
that he may depart from hell beneath .
*
The LORD will destroy the house of the proud :
but he will establish the border of the widow .
*
The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD :
but the words of the pure are pleasant words .
*
He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house ;
but he that hateth gifts shall live .
*
The heart of the righteous studieth to answer :
but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things .
*
The LORD is far from the wicked :
but he heareth the prayer of the righteous .
*
The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart :
and a good report maketh the bones fat .
*
The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise .
*
He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul :
but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding .
*
The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom ;
and before honour is humility .
*
The preparations of the heart in man ,
and the answer of the tongue ,
is from the LORD .
