A Chapter a Day - The Book of Proverbs Chapter 131 A wise son heeds his father's instruction, 2 From the fruit of his lips a man enjoys good things, 3 He who guards his lips guards his life, 4 The sluggard craves and gets nothing, 5 The righteous hate what is false, 6 Righteousness guards the man of integrity, 7 One man pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; 8 A man's riches may ransom his life, 9 The light of the righteous shines brightly, 10 Pride only breeds quarrels, 11 Dishonest money dwindles away, 12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, 13 He who scorns instruction will pay for it, 14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, 15 Good understanding wins favor, 16 Every prudent man acts out of knowledge, 17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble, 18 He who ignores discipline comes to poverty and shame, 19 A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, 20 He who walks with the wise grows wise, 21 Misfortune pursues the sinner, 22 A good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children, 23 A poor man's field may produce abundant food, 24 He who spares the rod hates his son, 25 The righteous eat to their hearts' content, |
