Proverbs 13:1-4 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. A wise child hears the discipline of a father, but a scoffer does not listen to a rebuke.

2. From the fruit of the mouth of a man, he shall eat what is good, but the desire of the treacherous, wrongdoing.

3. He who keeps his mouth guards his life; he who opens his lips, ruin belongs to him.

4. The soul of the lazy craves, but there is nothing, but the person of diligence is richly supplied.
