Proverbs 13:1-9

Proverbs 13:1-9 NASB2020

A wise son accepts his father’s discipline, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke. From the fruit of a person’s mouth he enjoys good, But the desire of the treacherous is violence. One who guards his mouth protects his life; One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. The soul of the lazy one craves and gets nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made prosperous. A righteous person hates a false statement, But a wicked person acts disgustingly and shamefully. Righteousness guards the one whose way is blameless, But wickedness brings the sinner to ruin. There is one who pretends to be rich but has nothing; Another pretends to be poor, but has great wealth. The ransom of a person’s life is his wealth, But the poor hears no rebuke. The light of the righteous rejoices, But the lamp of the wicked goes out.
