A wise son hears his father's instructions
but a scorner does not hear rebuke.
A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth
but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.
He that guards his mouth guards his life
but he that speaks rashly shall have destruction.
The sluggard desires and gets nothing
but the soul of the diligent is fully satisfied.
A righteous man hates lying
but a wicked man is loathsome and comes to shame.
Righteousness guards the man of integrity
but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
One man pretends to be rich but has nothing
another pretends to be poor yet has great riches.
A man's riches may ransom his life
but a poor man hears no threat.
The light of the righteous rejoices
but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
