A Wise Son Heareth His Father's Instruction — Proverbs 13:9–14

The light of the righteous rejoiceth; But the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

By pride cometh only contention; But with the well-advised is wisdom.

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

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

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

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