‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭13:1‭-‬25‬ ‭MSG‬‬
[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. [13] Ignore the Word and suffer; honor God’s commands and grow rich. [14] The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, so, no more drinking from death-tainted wells! [15] Sound thinking makes for gracious living, but liars walk a rough road. [16] A commonsense person lives good sense; fools litter the country with silliness. [17] Irresponsible talk makes a real mess of things, but a reliable reporter is a healing presence. [18] Refuse discipline and end up homeless; embrace correction and live an honored life. [19] Souls who follow their hearts thrive; fools bent on evil despise matters of soul. [20] Become wise by walking with the wise; hang out with fools and watch your life fall to pieces. [21] Disaster entraps sinners, but God-loyal people get a good life. [22] A good life gets passed on to the grandchildren; ill-gotten wealth ends up with good people. [23] Banks foreclose on the farms of the poor, or else the poor lose their shirts to crooked lawyers. [24] A refusal to correct is a refusal to love; love your children by disciplining them. [25] An appetite for good brings much satisfaction, but the belly of the wicked always wants more.
