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.
