| Proverbs 13:1 | A wise son [heareth] his father's instruction; but a scorner heareth not rebuke. | A wise son is a lover of teaching, but the ears of the haters of authority are shut to sharp words. | A wise son listens to his father's instruction, But a scoffer doesn't listen to rebuke. | A wise son heareth the doctrine of his father: but he that is a scorner, beareth not when he is reproved. |
| Proverbs 13:2 | A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth; but the soul of the treacherous, violence. | A man will get good from the fruit of his lips, but the desire of the false is for violent acts. | By the fruit of his lips, a man enjoys good things; But the unfaithful crave violence. | Of the fruit of his own mouth shall a man be filled with good things: but the soul of transgressors is wicked. |
| Proverbs 13:3 | He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his soul; destruction shall be to him that openeth wide his lips. | He who keeps a watch on his mouth keeps his life; but he whose lips are open wide will have destruction. | He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. | He that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his soul: but he that hath no guard on his speech shall meet with evils. |
| Proverbs 13:4 | A sluggard's soul desireth and hath nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. | The hater of work does not get his desires, but the soul of the hard workers will be made fat. | The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing, But the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied. | The sluggard willeth and willeth not: but the soul of them that work, shall be made fat. |
| Proverbs 13:5 | A righteous [man] hateth lying; but the wicked maketh himself odious and cometh to shame. | The upright man is a hater of false words: the evil-doer gets a bad name and is put to shame. | A righteous man hates lies, But a wicked man brings shame and disgrace. | The just shall hate a lying word: but the wicked confoundeth, and shall be confounded. |
| Proverbs 13:6 | Righteousness preserveth him that is perfect in the way; but wickedness overthroweth the sinner. | Righteousness keeps safe him whose way is without error, but evil-doers are overturned by sin. | Righteousness guards the way of integrity, But wickedness overthrows the sinner. | Justice keepeth the way of the innocent: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner. |
| Proverbs 13:7 | There is that feigneth himself rich, and hath nothing; there is that maketh himself poor, and hath great wealth. | A man may be acting as if he had wealth, but have nothing; another may seem poor, but have great wealth. | There are some who pretend to be rich, yet have nothing. There are some who pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth. | One is as it were rich, when he hath nothing: and another is as it were poor, when he hath great riches. |
| Proverbs 13:8 | The ransom of a man's life is his riches; but the indigent heareth not rebuke. | A man will give his wealth in exchange for his life; but the poor will not give ear to sharp words. | The ransom of a man's life is his riches, But the poor hears no threats. | The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but he that is poor beareth not reprehension. |

| Proverbs 13:10 | By pride there only cometh contention; but with the well-advised is wisdom. | The only effect of pride is fighting; but wisdom is with the quiet in spirit. | By pride comes only quarrels, But with ones who take advice is wisdom. | Among the proud there are always contentions: but they that do all things with counsel, are ruled by wisdom. |
| Proverbs 13:11 | Wealth [gotten] by vanity diminisheth; but he that gathereth by manual-labour shall increase [it]. | Wealth quickly got will become less; but he who gets a store by the work of his hands will have it increased. | Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, But he who gathers by hand makes it grow. | Substance got in haste shall be diminished: but that which by little and little is gathered with the hand shall increase. |
| Proverbs 13:12 | Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; but the desire [that] cometh to pass is a tree of life. | Hope put off is a weariness to the heart; but when what is desired comes, it is a tree of life. | Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life. | Hope that is deferred afflicteth the soul: desire when it cometh is a tree of life. |
| Proverbs 13:13 | Whoso despiseth the word shall be held by it; but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded. | He who makes sport of the word will come to destruction, but the respecter of the law will be rewarded. | Whoever despises instruction will pay for it, But he who respects a command will be rewarded. | Whosoever speaketh ill of any thing, bindeth himself for the time to come: but he that feareth the commandment, shall dwell in peace. Deceitful souls go astray in sins: the just are merciful, and shew mercy. |

| Proverbs 13:15 | Good understanding procureth favour; but the way of the treacherous is hard. | Wise behaviour gets approval, but the way of the false is their destruction. | Good understanding wins favor; But the way of the unfaithful is hard. | Good instruction shall give grace: in the way of scorners is a deep pit. |
| Proverbs 13:16 | Every prudent [man] acteth with knowledge; but the foolish layeth open [his] folly. | A sharp man does everything with knowledge, but a foolish man makes clear his foolish thoughts. | Every prudent man acts from knowledge, But a fool exposes folly. | The prudent mall doth all things with counsel: but he that is a fool, layeth open his folly. |
| Proverbs 13:17 | A wicked messenger falleth into evil; but a faithful ambassador is health. | A man taking false news is a cause of trouble, but he who gives news rightly makes things well. | A wicked messenger falls into trouble, But a trustworthy envoy gains healing. | The messenger of the wicked shall fall into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health. |
| Proverbs 13:18 | Poverty and shame shall be [to] him that refuseth instruction; but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. | Need and shame will be the fate of him who is uncontrolled by training; but he who takes note of teaching will be honoured. | Poverty and shame come to him who refuses discipline, But he who heeds correction shall be honored. | Poverty and shame to him that refuseth instruction: but he that yieldeth to reproof, shall be glorified. |
| Proverbs 13:19 | The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul; but it is abomination to the foolish to depart from evil. | To get one's desire is sweet to the soul, but to give up evil is disgusting to the foolish. | Longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, But fools detest turning from evil. | The desire that is accomplished, delighteth the soul: fools hate them that flee from evil things. |

| Proverbs 13:22 | A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children; but the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous [man]. | The heritage of the good man is handed down to his children's children; and the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the upright man. | A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, But the wealth of the sinner is stored for the righteous. | The good man leaveth heirs, sons, and grandsons: and the substance of the sinner is kept for the just. |
| Proverbs 13:23 | Much food is in the tillage of the poor; but there is that is lost for want of judgment. | There is much food in the ploughed land of the poor; but it is taken away by wrongdoing. | An abundance of food is in poor people's fields, But injustice sweeps it away. | Much food is in the tillage of fathers: but for others it is gathered with out judgment. |
| Proverbs 13:24 | He that spareth his rod hateth his son; but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. | He who keeps back his rod is unkind to his son: the loving father gives punishment with care. | One who spares the rod hates his son, But one who loves him is careful to discipline him. | He that spareth the rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him correcteth him betimes. |
| Proverbs 13:25 | The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul; but the belly of the wicked shall want. | The upright man has food to the full measure of his desire, but there will be no food for the stomach of evil-doers. | The righteous one eats to the satisfying of his soul, But the belly of the wicked goes hungry. | The just eateth and filleth his soul: but the belly of the wicked is never to be filled. |
