Deceitful souls go astray in sins: the just are merciful, and shew mercy. 14The law of the wise is a fountain of life, that he may decline from the ruin of death. 15Good instruction shall give grace: in the way of scorners is a deep pit. 16The prudent man doth all things with counsel: but he that is a fool, layeth open his folly. 17The messenger of the wicked shall fall into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health. 18Poverty and shame to him that refuseth instruction: but he that yieldeth to reproof shall be glorified. 19The desire that is accomplished, delighteth the soul: fools hate them that flee from evil things. 20He that walketh with the wise, shall be wise: a friend of fools shall become like to them. 21Evil pursueth sinners: and to the just good shall be repaid. 22The good man leaveth heirs, sons, and grandsons: and the substance of the sinner is kept for the just. 23Much food is in the tillage of fathers: but for others it is gathered without judgment. 24He that spareth the rod, hateth his son: but he that loveth him, correcteth him betimes. 25The just eateth and filleth his soul: but the belly of the wicked is never to be filled. ‹Previous chapterProverbs 12Next chapterProverbs 14›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsProverbs 13 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
