Proverbs 13:1-10
[1]A wise son pays attention when his father corrects him, but an arrogant person never admits he is wrong.
[2]Good people will be rewarded for what they say, but those who are deceitful are hungry for violence.
[3]Be careful what you say and protect your life. A careless talker destroys himself.
[4]No matter how much a lazy person may want something, he will never get it. A hard worker will get everything he wants.
[5]Honest people hate lies, but the words of wicked people are shameful and disgraceful.
[6]Righteousness protects the innocent; wickedness is the downfall of sinners.
[7]Some people pretend to be rich, but have nothing. Others pretend to be poor, but own a fortune.
[8]The rich have to use their money to save their lives, but no one threatens the poor.
[9]The righteous are like a light shining brightly; the wicked are like a lamp flickering out.
[10]Arrogance causes nothing but trouble. It is wiser to ask for advice.
