Proverbs 10:1-22

1The proverbsH4912 of SolomonH8010. A wiseH2450 sonH1121 maketh a gladH8055 fatherH1: but a foolishH3684 sonH1121 is the heavinessH8424 of his motherH517.

2TreasuresH214 of wickednessH7562 profitH3276 nothing: but righteousnessH6666 deliverethH5337 from deathH4194.

3YhwhH3068 will not sufferH7456 the soulH5315 of the righteousH6662 to famishH7456: but he casteth awayH1920 the substanceH1942 of the wickedH7563.1

4He becometh poorH7326 that dealethH6213 with a slackH7423 handH3709: but the handH3027 of the diligentH2742 maketh richH6238.

5He that gatherethH103 in summerH7019 is a wiseH7919 sonH1121: but he that sleepethH7290 in harvestH7105 is a sonH1121 that causeth shameH954.

6BlessingsH1293 are upon the headH7218 of the justH6662: but violenceH2555 coverethH3680 the mouthH6310 of the wickedH7563.

7The memoryH2143 of the justH6662 is blessedH1293: but the nameH8034 of the wickedH7563 shall rotH7537.

8The wiseH2450 in heartH3820 will receiveH3947 commandmentsH4687: but a pratingH8193 foolH191 shall fallH3832.23

9He that walkethH3212 uprightlyH8537 walkethH1980 surelyH983: but he that pervertethH6140 his waysH1870 shall be knownH3045.

10He that winkethH7169 with the eyeH5869 causethH5414 sorrowH6094: but a pratingH8193 foolH191 shall fallH3832.4

11The mouthH6310 of a righteousH6662 man is a wellH4726 of lifeH2416: but violenceH2555 coverethH3680 the mouthH6310 of the wickedH7563.

12HatredH8135 stirreth upH5782 strifesH4090: but loveH160 coverethH3680 all sinsH6588.

13In the lipsH8193 of him that hath understandingH995 wisdomH2451 is foundH4672: but a rodH7626 is for the backH1460 of him that is voidH2638 of understandingH3820.5

14WiseH2450 men lay upH6845 knowledgeH1847: but the mouthH6310 of the foolishH191 is nearH7138 destructionH4288.

15The rich man’sH6223 wealthH1952 is his strongH5797 cityH7151: the destructionH4288 of the poorH1800 is their povertyH7389.

16The labourH6468 of the righteousH6662 tendeth to lifeH2416: the fruitH8393 of the wickedH7563 to sinH2403.

17He is in the wayH734 of lifeH2416 that keepethH8104 instructionH4148: but he that refusethH5800 reproofH8433 errethH8582.6

18He that hidethH3680 hatredH8135 with lyingH8267 lipsH8193, and he that utterethH3318 a slanderH1681, is a foolH3684.

19In the multitudeH7230 of wordsH1697 there wantethH2308 not sinH6588: but he that refrainethH2820 his lipsH8193 is wiseH7919.

20The tongueH3956 of the justH6662 is as choiceH977 silverH3701: the heartH3820 of the wickedH7563 is little worthH4592.

21The lipsH8193 of the righteousH6662 feedH7462 manyH7227: but foolsH191 dieH4191 for wantH2638 of wisdomH3820.7

22The blessingH1293 of YhwhH3068, it maketh richH6238, and he addethH3254 no sorrowH6089 with it.
