Proverbs 13

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	DOUAI-RHEIMS

2 From the fruit of his mouth a good man eats good, but the desire of the treacherous is for violence.	2 Of the fruit of his own mouth shall a man be filled with good things: but the soul of transgressors is wicked.

10 By insolence the heedless make strife, but with those who take advice is wisdom.	10 Among the proud there are always contentions: but they that do all things with counsel, are ruled by wisdom.
11 Wealth hastily gotten will dwindle, but he who gathers little by little will increase it.	11 Substance got in haste shall be diminished: but that which by little and little is gathered with the hand shall increase.
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.	12 Hope that is deferred afflicteth the soul: desire when it cometh is a tree of life.
13 He who despises the word brings destruction on himself, but he who respects the commandment will be rewarded.	13 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.
