Proverbs 13:10-19

Proverbs 13:10-19 NASB2020

Through overconfidence comes nothing but strife, But wisdom is with those who receive counsel. Wealth obtained from nothing dwindles, But one who gathers by labor increases it. Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But desire fulfilled is a tree of life. One who despises the word will do badly, But one who fears the commandment will be rewarded. The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, To turn aside from the snares of death. Good understanding produces favor, But the way of the treacherous is their own disaster. Every prudent person acts with knowledge, But a fool displays foolishness. A wicked messenger falls into adversity, But a faithful messenger brings healing. Poverty and shame will come to one who neglects discipline, But one who complies with rebuke will be honored. Desire realized is sweet to the soul, But it is an abomination to fools to turn away from evil.
