- Kapitel 13 -

The source of great wealth

1
A wise sonthe instruction of a father, || And a scornerhe has not heard rebuke.
2
A man eats good from the fruit of the mouth, || And the soul of the treacherous—violence.
3
Whoever is keeping his mouth, is keeping his soul, || Whoever is opening wide his lipsruin to him!
4
The soul of the slothful is desiring, and does not have. And the soul of the diligent is made fat.
5
The righteous hates a false word, || And the wicked causes abhorrence, and is confounded.
6
Righteousness keeps him who is perfect in the way, || And wickedness overthrows a sin offering.
7
There is [he] who is making himself rich, and has nothing, || Who is making himself poor, and wealth [is] abundant.
8
The ransom of a man’s life [are] his riches, || And the poor has not heard rebuke.
9
The light of the righteous rejoices, || And the lamp of the wicked is extinguished.
10
A vain man causes debate through pride, || And wisdom [is] with the counseled.
11
Wealth from vanity becomes little, || And whoever is gathering by the hand becomes great.

Source of hope

12
Hope prolonged is making the heart sick, || And a tree of life [is] the coming desire.
13
Whoever is despising the word is destroyed for it, || And whoever is fearing the command is repaid.
14
The law of the wise [is] a fountain of life, || To turn aside from snares of death.
15
Good understanding gives grace, || And the way of the treacherous [is] hard.
16
Every prudent one deals with knowledge, || And a fool spreads out folly.
17
A wicked messenger falls into evil, || And a faithful ambassador is healing.
18
Whoever is refusing instructionpoverty and shame, || And whoever is observing reproof is honored.
19
A desire accomplished is sweet to the soul, || And an abomination to fools || [Is] to turn from evil.
20
Whoever is walking with wise men is wise, || And a companion of fools suffers evil.
21
Evil pursues sinners, || And good repays the righteous.
22
A good man causes sonssons to inherit, || And the sinner’s wealth [is] laid up for the righteous.
23
Abundance of food—the tillage of the poor, || And substance is consumed without judgment.
24
Whoever is sparing his rod is hating his son, || And whoever is loving him has hurried his discipline.
25
The righteous is eating to the satiety of his soul, || And the belly of the wicked lacks!
