Proverbs 13-15

13 - In verse 7 Solomon says that one man makes himself wealthy, yet has nothing, and another makes himself poor, but has great riches. In verse 18 he says that poverty and shame come upon the one who refuses to be corrected, but honor will come upon the one who pays attention to correction.

14 - In verse 12 he notes that there is a way that seems right to men’s minds, but it only leads to death. Those who lack fear of God draw foolish conclusions from the evidence around them.

15 - A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The wise shares his knowledge, but not so with the fool.
