Proverbios 13

3He that keeps his own mouth keeps his own life: but he that is hasty with his lips shall bring terror upon himself.

4Every slothful man desires, but the hands of the active are diligent.

5A righteous man hates an unjust word: but an ungodly man is ashamed, and will have no confidence.

6Alex. Righteousness preserves the simple in the way, but sin makes worthless the ungodly.

7There are some who, having nothing, enrich themselves: and there are some who bring themselves down in the midst of much wealth.

25A just man eats and satisfies his soul: but the souls of the ungodly are in want.

Reina-Valera 1909

1EL hijo sabio toma el consejo del padre: mas el burlador no escucha las reprensiones.

2Del fruto de su boca el hombre comerá bien: mas el alma de los prevaricadores hallará mal.

3El que guarda su boca guarda su alma: mas el que mucho abre sus labios tendrá calamidad.

4Desea, y nada alcanza el alma del perezoso: mas el alma de los diligentes será engordada.

5El justo aborrece la palabra de mentira: mas el impío se hace odioso é infame.

6La justicia guarda al de perfecto camino: mas la impiedad trastornará al pecador.

7Hay quienes se hacen ricos, y no tienen nada: y hay quienes se hacen pobres, y tienen muchas riquezas.

8La redención de la vida del hombre son sus riquezas: pero el pobre no oye censuras.

9La luz de los justos se alegrará: mas apagaráse la lámpara de los impíos.

10Ciertamente la soberbia parirá contienda: mas con los avisados es la sabiduría.

11Disminuiránse las riquezas de vanidad: empero multiplicará el que allega con su mano.

12La esperanza que se prolonga, es tormento del corazón: mas árbol de vida es el deseo cumplido.

13El que menosprecia la palabra, perecerá por ello: mas el que teme el mandamiento, será recompensado.

14La ley del sabio es manantial de vida, para apartarse de los lazos de la muerte.

15El buen entendimiento conciliará gracia: mas el camino de los prevaricadores es duro.

16Todo hombre cuerdo obra con sabiduría: mas el necio manifestará necedad.

17El mal mensajero caerá en mal: mas el mensajero fiel es medicina.

18Pobreza y vergüenza tendrá el que menosprecia el consejo: mas el que guarda la corrección, será honrado.

19El deseo cumplido deleita el alma: pero apartarse del mal es abominación á los necios.

20El que anda con los sabios, sabio será; mas el que se allega á los necios, será quebrantado.

21Mal perseguirá á los pecadores: mas á los justos les será bien retribuído.

22El bueno dejará herederos á los hijos de los hijos; y el haber del pecador, para el justo está guardado.

23En el barbecho de los pobres hay mucho pan: mas piérdese por falta de juicio.

24El que detiene el castigo, á su hijo aborrece: mas el que lo ama, madruga á castigarlo.

25El justo come hasta saciar su alma: mas el vientre de los impíos tendrá necesidad.
