Proverbs 13:1-7 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. A wise son takes his father’s advice.But a person who makes fun of wisdom won’t listen to correction.

2. A person will be rewarded for what he says.But those who can’t be trusted want only violence.

3. Whoever is careful about what he says protects his life.But anyone who speaks without thinking will be ruined.

4. The lazy person will not get what he wants.But a hard worker gets everything he wants.

5. Good people hate what is false.But wicked people do shameful and disgraceful things.

6. Doing what is right protects the honest person.But evil ruins the sinner.

7. Some people pretend to be rich but really have nothing.Other people pretend to be poor but really are wealthy.
