Proverbs 16:20 (Pro 16:20 It pays to take life seriously; things work out when you trust in GOD).
Good as it is to “handle a matter wisely,” it is far better to “trust in the Lord.” The former is really impossible except through the latter.
Prudence gains men respect and success: He that handles a matter wisely (that is master of his trade and makes it to appear he understands what he undertakes, that is considerate in his affairs, and, when he speaks or writes on any subject, does it pertinently) shall find good, shall come into good repute, and perhaps may make a good hand of it.
But it is piety only that will secure men's true happiness: Those that handle a matter wisely, if they are proud and lean to their own understanding, though they may find some good, yet they will have no great satisfaction in it; but he that trusts in the Lord, and not in his own wisdom, happy is he, and shall speed better at last. Some read the former part of the verse so as to expound it of piety, which is indeed true wisdom: He that attends to the word (the word of God, Pro_13:13) shall find good in it and good by it. And whoso trusts in the Lord, in his word which he attends to, is happy.
Pro 13:13 Ignore the Word and suffer; honor God's commands and grow rich.
the word — that is, of advice, or, instruction (compare Pro_10:27; Pro_11:31).
Whoever despises the Word shall be destroyed.(Man’s destruction)
The more literal rendering would be, “He that despises the Word shall bring ruin on himself.” This is a great law of the Biblical revelation—namely, that destruction is not a merely arbitrary act on the part of God, a mere penalty, but that it involves the idea of suicide or self-ruin. The law of reward and also the law of punishment are to be found within ourselves. (J. Parker, D.D.)
