Proverbs 13:1-7
13 A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
2 A man shall eat good (fig. for what's gained by effort) by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors (traitors, faithless ones) shall eat violence.
3 He that keepeth (guards, protects) his mouth (fig. for what's spoken thereby) keepeth (guards) his life (soul): but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
4 The soul of the sluggard (sluggish, lazy) desireth (covets, waits longingly), and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent (incisive: having the ability to separate what's superficial; constant in effort or exertion to accomplish) shall be made fat.
5 A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome (to be morally offensive, to stink), and cometh to shame (or confusion).
6 Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth (subverts or perverts) the sinner (the sin offering).
Proverbs 13:12
2 Hope (expectation of future good) deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life (the tree supporting and continuing the life which had been imparted).
