Proverbs 13 — YLT

13Verse 1A wise son — the instruction of a father, And a scorner — he hath not heard rebuke.^{Verse 2}From the fruit of the mouth a man eateth good, And the soul of the treacherous — violence.^{Verse 3}Whoso is keeping his mouth, is keeping his soul, Whoso is opening wide his lips — ruin to him!^{Verse 4}The soul of the slothful is desiring, and hath not. And the soul of the diligent is made fat.^{Verse 5}A false word the righteous hateth, And the wicked causeth abhorrence, and is confounded.^{Verse 6}Righteousness keepeth him who is perfect in the way, And wickedness overthroweth a sin offering.^{Verse 7}There is who is making himself rich, and hath nothing, Who is making himself poor, and wealth [is] abundant.^{Verse 8}The ransom of a man's life [are] his riches, And the poor hath not heard rebuke.^{Verse 9}The light of the righteous rejoiceth, And the lamp of the wicked is extinguished.^{Verse 10}A vain man through pride causeth debate, And with the counselled [is] wisdom.^{Verse 11}Wealth from vanity becometh little, And whoso is gathering by the hand becometh great.^{Verse 12}Hope prolonged is making the heart sick, And a tree of life [is] the coming desire.^{Verse 13}Whoso is despising the Word is destroyed for it, And whoso is fearing the Command is repayed.^{Verse 14}The law of the wise [is] a fountain of life, To turn aside from snares of death.^{Verse 15}Good understanding giveth grace, And the way of the treacherous [is] hard.^{Verse 16}Every prudent one dealeth with knowledge, And a fool spreadeth out folly.^{Verse 17}A wicked messenger falleth into evil, And a faithful ambassador is healing.^{Verse 18}Whoso is refusing instruction — poverty and shame, And whoso is observing reproof is honoured.^{Verse 19}A desire accomplished is sweet to the soul, And an abomination to fools [is]: Turn from evil.^{Verse 20}Whoso is walking with wise men is wise, And a companion of fools suffereth evil.^{Verse 21}Evil pursueth sinners, And good recompenseth the righteous.^{Verse 22}A good man causeth sons' sons to inherit, And laid up for the righteous [is] the sinner's wealth.^{Verse 23}Abundance of food — the tillage of the poor, And substance is consumed without judgment.^{Verse 24}Whoso is sparing his rod is hating his son, And whoso is loving him hath hastened him chastisement.^{Verse 25}The righteous is eating to the satiety of his soul, And the belly of the wicked lacketh!
