Proverbs 13:14

American Standard Version 2015

The law of the wise is a fountain of life,\par\tab That one may depart from the snares of death.

See the chapter Copy

The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life;\par\tab But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

The cords of Sheol were round about me;\par\tab The snares of death came upon me.

The fear of Jehovah is a fountain of life,\par\tab That one may depart from the snares of death.

The highway of the upright is to depart from evil:\par\tab He that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.

The cords of death compassed me,\par\tab And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me:\par\tab I found trouble and sorrow.

Understanding is a well-spring of life unto him that hath it;\par\tab But the correction of fools is {\i their} folly.

By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for;\par\tab And by the fear of Jehovah men depart from evil.

To the wise the way of life {\i goeth} upward,\par\tab That he may depart from Sheol beneath.

For by me thy days shall be multiplied,\par\tab And the years of thy life shall be increased.

and blessed be thy discretion, and blessed be thou, that hast kept me this day from bloodguiltiness, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.
