Proverbs 13:14

Revised Version 1885

The law of the wise is a fountain of life, To depart from the snares of death.

See the chapter Copy

The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life: But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

The cords of Sheol were round about me: The snares of death came on me.

The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, To depart from the snares of death.

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

The cords of death compassed me, And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me I found trouble and sorrow

Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: But the correction of fools is their folly.

By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: And by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

To the wise the way of life goeth upward, That he may depart from Sheol beneath.

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

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