Proverbs 10
1The proverbs of Solomon.
A wise son maketh a glad father;But a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.2Treasures of wickedness profit nothing;But righteousness delivereth from death.3Jehovah will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish;But he thrusteth away the desire of the wicked.4He becometh poor that worketh with a slack hand;But the hand of the diligent maketh rich.5He that gathereth in summer is a wise son;Buthe that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.6Blessings are upon the head of the righteous;But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.7The memory of the righteous is blessed;But the name of the wicked shall rot.8The wise in heart will receive commandments;But a prating fool shall fall.9He that walketh uprightly walketh surely;But he that perverteth his ways shall be known.10He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow;But a prating fool shall fall.11The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life;But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.12Hatred stirreth up strifes;But love covereth all transgressions.13In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found;But a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.14Wise men lay up knowledge;But the mouth of the foolish is a present destruction.15The rich man’s wealth is his strong city:The destruction of the poor is their poverty.16The labor of the righteoustendethto life;The increase of the wicked, to sin.17He is in the way of life that heedeth correction;But he that forsaketh reproof erreth.18He that hideth hatred is of lying lips;And he that uttereth a slander is a fool.19In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression;But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.20The tongue of the righteous isaschoice silver:The heart of the wicked is little worth.21The lips of the righteous feed many;But the foolish die for lack of understanding.22The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich;And he addeth no sorrow therewith.23It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness;Andso iswisdom to a man of understanding.24The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him;And the desire of the righteous shall be granted.25When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is no more;But the righteous is an everlasting foundation.26As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes,So is the sluggard to them that send him.27The fear of Jehovah prolongeth days;But the years of the wicked shall be shortened.28The hope of the righteousshall begladness;But the expectation of the wicked shall perish.29The way of Jehovah is a stronghold to the upright;But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.30The righteous shall never be removed;But the wicked shall not dwell in the land.31The mouth of the righteous bringeth forth wisdom;But the perverse tongue shall be cut off.32The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable;But the mouth of the wickedspeaketh perverseness.
