Proverbs 13:1-3
International Standard Version
Who is a Wise Son?
13 A wise son heeds[a] a father’s correction,
but a mocker does not listen to rebuke.
2 From the fruit of his words a man receives benefit,[b]
but the treacherous crave violence.
3 Anyone who guards his words protects his life;
anyone who talks too much[c] is ruined.
