Proverbs 13:13–14

Whoever despises the word brings destruction on himself,

but he who reveres the commandment will be rewarded.

The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,

that one may turn away from the snares of death.

Whoever scorns instruction will pay for it,

but whoever respects a command is rewarded.

The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,

turning a person from the snares of death.

The one who has contempt for instruction will pay the penalty,

but the one who respects a command will be rewarded.

A wise person’s instruction is a fountain of life,

turning people away from the snares of death.

People who despise advice are asking for trouble;

those who respect a command will succeed.

The instruction of the wise is like a life-giving fountain;

those who accept it avoid the snares of death.

He who despises a word will bring destruction on himself,

but he who respects a commandment will be rewarded.

The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,

in order to avoid the snares of death.

Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed:

But he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.

The law of the wise is a fountain of life,

To depart from the snares of death.
