Proverbs 13:14

The Message

The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, so, no more drinking from death-tainted wells!

See the chapter Copy

The mouth of a good person is a deep, life-giving well, but the mouth of the wicked is a dark cave of abuse.

The Fear-of-God is a spring of living water so you won’t go off drinking from poisoned wells.

Life ascends to the heights for the thoughtful— it’s a clean about-face from descent into hell.

The road of right living bypasses evil; watch your step and save your life.

True intelligence is a spring of fresh water, while fools sweat it out the hard way.

Guilt is banished through love and truth; Fear-of-God deflects evil.
