Proverbs 13

11  Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished; But he that gathereth by labor shall have increase.

12  Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; But when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

13  Whoso despiseth the word bringeth destruction on himself; But he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.

14  The law of the wise is a fountain of life, That one may depart from the snares of death.

15  Good understanding giveth favor; But the way of the transgressor is hard.

16  Every prudent man worketh with knowledge; But a fool flaunteth `his' folly.

17  A wicked messenger falleth into evil; But a faithful ambassador is health.

18  Poverty and shame `shall be to' him that refuseth correction; But he that regardeth reproof shall be honored.

19  The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul; But it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.

20  Walk with wise men, and thou shalt be wise; But the companion of fools shall smart for it.
