Proverbs 13:1-6

¹A wise son listens to his father’s instruction, but a scoffer doesn’t listen to rebuke.

²By the fruit of his lips, a man enjoys good things, but the unfaithful crave violence.

³He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

⁴The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing, but the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied.

⁵A righteous man hates lies, but a wicked man brings shame and disgrace.

⁶Righteousness guards the way of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
