Proverbs: Chapter 13 (asv)

Proverbs 13
- 1 A wise sonhearethhis father’s instruction; But a scoffer heareth not rebuke.
- 2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth; But the soul of the treacherousshall eatviolence.
- 3 He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his life; Buthe that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
- 4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
- 5 A righteous man hateth lying; But a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.
- 6 Righteousness guardeth him that is upright in the way; But wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
- 7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: There is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great wealth.
- 8 The ransom of a man’s life is his riches; But the poor heareth no threatening.
- 9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth; But the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
- 10 By pride cometh only contention; But with the well-advised is wisdom.
- 11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished; But he that gathereth by labor shall have increase.
- 12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; But when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
- 13 Whoso despiseth the word bringeth destruction on himself; But he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
- 14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, That one may depart from the snares of death.
- 15 Good understanding giveth favor; But the way of the transgressor is hard.
- 16 Every prudent man worketh with knowledge; But a fool flaunteth his folly.
- 17 A wicked messenger falleth into evil; But a faithful ambassador is health.
- 18 Poverty and shameshall be tohim that refuseth correction; But he that regardeth reproof shall be honored.
- 19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul; But it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.
- 20 Walk with wise men, and thou shalt be wise; But the companion of fools shall smart for it.
- 21 Evil pursueth sinners; But the righteous shall be recompensed with good.
- 22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children; And the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous.
- 23 Much foodis inthe tillage of the poor; But there is that is destroyed by reason of injustice.
- 24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son; But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
- 25 The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul; But the belly of the wicked shall want.

The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.

The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.

While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.

Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.
