Proverbs
Chapters 13:1-6
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
1A wise son listens to his father’s advice, but a proud son will not listen to correction.
2People get good things for the words they say, but those who cannot be trusted say only bad things.
3People who are careful about what they say will save their lives, but those who speak without thinking will be destroyed.
4Lazy people always want things but never get them. Those who work hard get plenty.
5Good people hate lies, but the wicked do evil, shameful things.
6Goodness protects honest people, but evil destroys those who love to sin.
