The Last few days I started doing this:
Each new day I go to the Proverbs that matches that Number of the Day.
I read it but I ALSO watch to see what part of it that Holy Spirit is bringing my attention to. I Fully expect Him to be Illuminating; highlighting verses. I know that each time I read it; He will be teaching me by pulling up different verses each time I re-do this system/style of going through the Proverbs.
I know some people read through the Proverbs & Psalms at the same time; but I'm going to narrow my focus on this to just Proverbs so that I can pull as much out of it as possible.!

Proverbs 13
Amplified Bible (AMP)
1A WISE son heeds [and is the fruit of] his father's instruction and correction, but a scoffer listens not to rebuke. 2A good man eats good from the fruit of his mouth, but the desire of the treacherous is for violence.
3He who guards his mouth keeps his life, but he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
4The appetite of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the appetite of the diligent is abundantly supplied.
5A [consistently] righteous man hates lying and deceit, but a wicked man is loathsome [his very breath spreads pollution] and he comes [surely] to shame.
6Righteousness (rightness and justice in every area and relation) guards him who is upright in the way, but wickedness plunges into sin and overthrows the sinner.
7One man considers himself rich, yet has nothing [to keep permanently]; another man considers himself poor, yet has great [and indestructible] riches.
8A rich man can buy his way out of threatened death by paying a ransom, but the poor man does not even have to listen to threats [from the envious].
9The light of the [uncompromisingly] righteous [is within him--it grows brighter and] rejoices, but the lamp of the wicked [furnishes only a derived, temporary light and] shall be put out shortly.
10By pride and insolence comes only contention, but with the well-advised is skillful and godly Wisdom.
11Wealth [not earned but] won in haste or unjustly or from the production of things for vain or detrimental use [such riches] will dwindle away, but he who gathers little by little will increase [his riches].
12Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.
13Whoever despises the word and counsel [of God] brings destruction upon himself, but he who [reverently] fears and respects the commandment [of God] is rewarded.
14The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, that one may avoid the snares of death.
15Good understanding wins favor, but the way of the transgressor is hard [like the barren, dry soil or the impassable swamp].
16Every prudent man deals with knowledge, but a [self-confident] fool exposes and flaunts his folly.
17A wicked messenger falls into evil, but a faithful ambassador brings healing.
18Poverty and shame come to him who refuses instruction and correction, but he who heeds reproof is honored.
19Satisfied desire is sweet to a person; therefore it is hateful and exceedingly offensive to [self-confident] fools to give up evil [upon which they have set their hearts].
20He who walks [as a companion] with wise men is wise, but he who associates with [self-confident] fools is [a fool himself and] shall smart for it.
21Evil pursues sinners, but the consistently upright and in right standing with God is recompensed with good.
22A good man leaves an inheritance [of moral stability and goodness] to his children's children, and the wealth of the sinner [finds its way eventually] into the hands of the righteous, for whom it was laid up.
23Much food is in the tilled land of the poor, but there are those who are destroyed because of injustice.
24He who spares his rod [of discipline] hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines diligently and punishes him early.
25The [uncompromisingly] righteous eats to his own satisfaction, but the stomach of the wicked is in want.
