Proverbs 13:1-3
View Full Chapter
1A wise son heeds his father’s instruction, but a mocker does not respond to rebukes.
2From the fruit of their lips people enjoy good things, but the unfaithful have an appetite for violence.
3Those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin.
