13 Whoever scorns instruction will pay for it, but whoever respects a command is rewarded.
13 Whoever despises the word brings destruction on himself, but he who reveres the commandment will be rewarded.
13 Ignore the Word and suffer; honor God's commands and grow rich.
13 He who despises the word will be destroyed, But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.
13 People who despise advice are asking for trouble; those who respect a command will succeed.
