Proverbs 13:14

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

The law of the wise is a fountain of life, that he may decline from the ruin of death.

See the chapter Copy

The mouth of the just is a vein of life: and the mouth of the wicked covereth iniquity.

Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.

The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to decline from the ruin of death.

The path of the just departeth from evils: he that keepeth his soul keepeth his way.

Knowledge is a fountain of life to him that possesseth it: the instruction of fools is foolishness.

By mercy and truth iniquity is redeemed: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.

The path of life is above for the wise, that he may decline from the lowest hell.

For by me shall thy days be multiplied, and years of life shall be added to thee.

And blessed be thou, who hast kept me to-day, from coming to blood, and revenging me with my own hand.
