Proverbs 13

Proverbs 13 contrasts the wise son who heeds his father's instruction with the scoffer who rejects rebuke, emphasizing guarding one's mouth, diligence over laziness, and the benefits of associating with the wise while warning against fools and pride.[1][2][3] Key teachings include hope deferred sickening the heart, the value of discipline (including not sparing the rod), wealth gained honestly enduring, and the righteous prospering while the wicked face adversity and want.[1][2][3]
