Proverbs 13New International Version (NIV)



13 A wise son heeds his father’s instruction,
    but a mocker does not respond to rebukes.
2 From the fruit of their lips people enjoy good things,
    but the unfaithful have an appetite for violence.
3 Those who guard their lips preserve their lives,
    but those who speak rashly will come to ruin.
4 A sluggard’s appetite is never filled,
    but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.
5 The righteous hate what is false,
    but the wicked make themselves a stench
    and bring shame on themselves.
6 Righteousness guards the person of integrity,
    but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
7 One person pretends to be rich, yet has nothing;
    another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.
8 A person’s riches may ransom their life,
    but the poor cannot respond to threatening rebukes.
9 The light of the righteous shines brightly,
    but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.
10 Where there is strife, there is pride,
    but wisdom is found in those who take advice.
11 Dishonest money dwindles away,
    but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow.
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
    but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
13 Whoever scorns instruction will pay for it,
    but whoever respects a command is rewarded.
14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,
    turning a person from the snares of death.
15 Good judgment wins favor,
    but the way of the unfaithful leads to their destruction.[a]
16 All who are prudent act with[b]knowledge,
    but fools expose their folly.
17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble,
    but a trustworthy envoy brings healing.
18 Whoever disregards discipline comes to poverty and shame,
    but whoever heeds correction is honored.
19 A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul,
    but fools detest turning from evil.
20 Walk with the wise and become wise,
    for a companion of fools suffers harm.
21 Trouble pursues the sinner,
    but the righteous are rewarded with good things.
22 A good person leaves an inheritance for their children’s children,
    but a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous.
23 An unplowed field produces food for the poor,
    but injustice sweeps it away.
24 Whoever spares the rod hates their children,
    but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.
25 The righteous eat to their hearts’ content,
    but the stomach of the wicked goes hungry.

Footnotes:

1. Proverbs 13:15 Septuagint and Syriac; the meaning of the Hebrew for this phrase is uncertain.
   
2. Proverbs 13:16 Or prudent protect themselves through

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
