Proverbs 12:24-13:10

  1. The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
  2. Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.
  3. The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
  4. The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.
  5. In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
  1. A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
  2. A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.
  3. He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
  4. The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
  5. A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.
  6. Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
  7. There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
  8. The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.
  9. The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
  10. Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.
