13:4

The soul
<05315>

of the sluggard
<06102>

desireth
<0183> (8693)_,

and [hath] nothing: but the soul
<05315>

of the diligent
<02742>

shall be made fat
<01878> (8792)_.

13:5

A righteous
<06662>

[man] hateth
<08130> (8799)

lying
<01697> <08267>_:

but a wicked
<07563>

[man] is loathsome
<0887> (8686)_,

and cometh to shame
<02659> (8686)_.

13:6

Righteousness
<06666>

keepeth
<05341> (8799)

[him that is] upright
<08537>

in the way
<01870>_:

but wickedness
<07564>

overthroweth
<05557> (8762)

the sinner
<02403>_.

{the sinner: Heb. sin}

13:7

There is
<03426>

that maketh himself rich
<06238> (8693)_,

yet [hath] nothing: [there is] that maketh himself poor
<07326> (8711)_,

yet
<03605>

[hath] great
<07227>

riches
<01952>_.

13:8

The ransom
<03724>

of a man's
<0376>

life
<05315>

[are] his riches
<06239>_:

but the poor
<07326> (8802)

heareth
<08085> (8804)

not rebuke
<01606>_.

13:9

The light
<0216>

of the righteous
<06662>

rejoiceth
<08055> (8799)_:

but the lamp
<05216>

of the wicked
<07563>

shall be put out
<01846> (8799)_.

{lamp: or, candle}

13:10

Only by pride
<02087>

cometh
<05414> (8799)

contention
<04683>_:

but with the well advised
<03289> (8737)

[is] wisdom
<02451>_.

13:11

Wealth
<01952>

[gotten] by vanity
<01892>

shall be diminished
<04591> (8799)_:

but he that gathereth
<06908> (8802)

by labour
<03027>

shall increase
<07235> (8686)_.

{by labour: Heb. with the hand}

13:12

Hope
<08431>

deferred
<04900> (8794)

maketh the heart
<03820>

sick
<02470> (8688)_:

but [when] the desire
<08378>

cometh
<0935> (8802)_,

[it is] a tree
<06086>

of life
<02416>_.

13:13

Whoso despiseth
<0936> (8802)

the word
<01697>

shall be destroyed
<02254> (8735)_:

but he that feareth
<03373>

the commandment
<04687>

shall be rewarded
<07999> (8792)_.

{shall be rewarded: or, shall be in peace}

13:14

The law
<08451>

of the wise
<02450>

[is] a fountain
<04726>

of life
<02416>_,

to depart
<05493> (8800)

from the snares
<04170>

of death
<04194>_.

13:15

Good
<02896>

understanding
<07922>

giveth
<05414> (8799)

favour
<02580>_:

but the way
<01870>

of transgressors
<0898> (8802)

[is] hard
<0386>_.

13:16

Every prudent
<06175>

[man] dealeth
<06213> (8799)

with knowledge
<01847>_:

but a fool
<03684>

layeth open
<06566> (8799)

[his] folly
<0200>_.

{layeth...: Heb. spreadeth}

13:17

A wicked
<07563>

messenger
<04397>

falleth
<05307> (8799)

into mischief
<07451>_:

but a faithful
<0529>

ambassador
<06735>

[is] health
<04832>_.

{a faithful...: Heb. an ambassador of faithfulness}

13:18

Poverty
<07389>

and shame
<07036>

[shall be to] him that refuseth
<06544> (8802)

instruction
<04148>_:

but he that regardeth
<08104> (8802)

reproof
<08433>

shall be honoured
<03513> (8792)_.

13:19

The desire
<08378>

accomplished
<01961> (8738)

is sweet
<06149> (8799)

to the soul
<05315>_:

but [it is] abomination
<08441>

to fools
<03684>

to depart
<05493> (8800)

from evil
<07451>_.

13:20

He that walketh
<01980> (8802)

with wise
<02450>

shall be destroyed

<07451>

pursueth

good

shall be repayed
<07999> (8762)_.

A good
<02896>

[man] leaveth an inheritance
<05157> (8686)

to his children's
<01121>

children

and the wealth
<02428>

of the sinner
<02398> (8802)

[is] laid up
<06845> (8803)

for the just
<06662>_.

13:23

Much
<07230>

food
<0400>

[is in] the tillage
<05215>

of the poor
<07218> (8676) <07326> (8802)_:

but there is
<03426>

[that is] destroyed
<05595> (8737)

for want
<03808>

of judgment
<04941>_.

<02820> (8802)

his rod
<07626>

but he that loveth
<0157> (8802)

him chasteneth
<04148>

him betimes
<07836> (8765)_.

<06662>

eateth
<0398> (8802)

to the satisfying

<0990>

of the wicked
<07563>

shall want
<02637> (8799)_.
