YLT - Proverbs - 13

13:1  A wise son--the instruction of a father, And a scorner--he hath not heard rebuke.

13:2  From the fruit of the mouth a man eateth good, And the soul of the treacherous--violence.

13:3  Whoso is keeping his mouth, is keeping his soul, Whoso is opening wide his lips--ruin to him!

13:4  The soul of the slothful is desiring, and hath not. And the soul of the diligent is made fat.

13:5  A false word the righteous hateth, And the wicked causeth abhorrence, and is confounded.

13:6  Righteousness keepeth him who is perfect in the way, And wickedness overthroweth a sin offering.

13:7  There is who is making himself rich, and hath nothing, Who is making himself poor, and wealth is abundant.

13:8  The ransom of a man's life are his riches, And the poor hath not heard rebuke.

13:9  The light of the righteous rejoiceth, And the lamp of the wicked is extinguished.

13:10  A vain man through pride causeth debate, And with the counselled is wisdom.

13:11  Wealth from vanity becometh little, And whoso is gathering by the hand becometh great.

13:12  Hope prolonged is making the heart sick, And a tree of life is the coming desire.

13:13  Whoso is despising the Word is destroyed for it, And whoso is fearing the Command is repayed.

13:14  The law of the wise is a fountain of life, To turn aside from snares of death.

13:15  Good understanding giveth grace, And the way of the treacherous is hard.

13:16  Every prudent one dealeth with knowledge, And a fool spreadeth out folly.

13:17  A wicked messenger falleth into evil, And a faithful ambassador is healing.

13:18  Whoso is refusing instruction--poverty and shame, And whoso is observing reproof is honoured.

13:19  A desire accomplished is sweet to the soul, And an abomination to fools is : Turn from evil.

13:20  Whoso is walking with wise men is wise, And a companion of fools suffereth evil.

13:21  Evil pursueth sinners, And good recompenseth the righteous.

13:22  A good man causeth sons' sons to inherit, And laid up for the righteous is the sinner's wealth.

13:23  Abundance of food--the tillage of the poor, And substance is consumed without judgment.

13:24  Whoso is sparing his rod is hating his son, And whoso is loving him hath hastened him chastisement.

13:25  The righteous is eating to the satiety of his soul, And the belly of the wicked lacketh!
