1 Intelligent children listen to their parents; foolish children do their own thing.
2 The good acquire a taste for helpful conversation;
bullies push and shove their way through life.3 Careful words make for a careful life;
careless talk may ruin everything.4 Indolence wants it all and gets nothing;
the energetic have something to show for their lives.5 A good person hates false talk;
a bad person wallows in gibberish.6 A God-loyal life keeps you on track;
sin dumps the wicked in the ditch.7 A pretentious, showy life is an empty life;
a plain and simple life is a full life.8 The rich can be sued for everything they have,
but the poor are free of such threats.9 The lives of good people are brightly lit streets;
the lives of the wicked are dark alleys.10 Arrogant know-it-alls stir up discord,
but wise men and women listen to each other’s counsel.11 Easy come, easy go,
but steady diligence pays off.12 Unrelenting disappointment leaves you heartsick,
but a sudden good break can turn life around.Proverbs 13:1-12
