Proverbs 13
Book of
Proverbs
Proverbs 13:1 A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner
heareth not rebuke.
-
Instruction = correction, or discipline
-
Give good advised, wisdom to your children
2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the
transgressors shall eat violence.
-
Eat = get his food:"eat" being put by (of
effect), for what is gained by effort.
-
Eat = what you do = your works = think before
you speak
3 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide
his lips shall have destruction.
-
Never listen to a know it all, someone that
always talking, but never does anything
4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of
the diligent shall be made fat.
-
Sluggard = lazy person
-
They desireth, because they never have anything
= because they won't work
-
These want to start at the top, they want the
boss's job, these think they are better than
anyone else.
-
They want to give orders, not work = because of
their pride
-
The diligent = diligent ones
5 A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and
cometh to shame.
6 Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness
over throweth the sinner.
-
Wickedness over throweth the sinner = like a
drug dealer, they want to control you
-
Just like, your rulers, they just pass a law to
smoke pot = they want to control you
7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that
maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
-
Maketh himself rich = pretendeth to be rich
8 The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not
rebuke.
-
Ransom = covering
-
Poor in God's word = knowledge
9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall
be put out.
-
Light of the righteous = Christ
-
Lamp of darkness = the wicked = Satan
10 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.
-
Pride will always bring you trouble
11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by
labour shall increase.
-
Any time you try to rip off someone, your not
going sleep good at night
12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it
is a tree of life.
13 Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the
commandment shall be rewarded.
14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares
of death.
-
Wisdom comes through the fountain of life
15 Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is
hard.
-
Hard = rough
-
This meaning may be substituted for its usual
rendering "stronger".
16 Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his
folly.
-
A fool never cares about anyone
17 A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador
is health.
-
Mischief = same word as "evil"
-
A wicked messenger = bad news = trouble
-
A faith ambassador = brings peace of mind
18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he
that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
-
Some people you can't tell them nothing, because
they think, they know it all
19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination
to fools to depart from evil.
-
Doing good = sweet to the soul
20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools
shall be destroyed.
21 Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.
22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the
wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
-
Ends with "good", which is repeated at the
beginning
-
An inheritance = not necessarily wealth: but a
good name
23 Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is
destroyed for want of judgment.
24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him
chasteneth him betimes.
-
Chasteneth him betimes = carefully seeketh
correction (or discipline) for him: or seeketh
early
-
Spareth = withholdeth
25 The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of
the wicked shall want.
