Proverbs 13:13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
13 Whoever despises the word must pay for it,[a]
but whoever reveres the command will be rewarded.
Footnotes
- 13:13 Must pay for it: lit., “is pledge to it,” i.e., just as one who has pledged or provided surety for another’s loan is obligated to that pledge, so one is not free of a command until one performs it.
Proverbs 16:17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Proverbs 16:17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
17 The path of the upright leads away from misfortune;
those who attend to their way guard their lives.[a]
Footnotes
- 16:17 In the metaphor of the two ways, the way of the righteous is protected and the way of the wicked is unprotected. Since the path of the righteous leads therefore away from trouble, one’s task is to stay on it, to “attend to” it.
