Proverbs 10

1The proverbsH4912 of SolomonH8010. A wiseH2450 sonH1121 maketh a gladH8055 fatherH1: but a foolishH3684 sonH1121 is the heaviness of his motherH517. 2TreasuresH214 of wickednessH7562 profitH3276 nothingH3808: but righteousnessH6666 delivereth from deathH4194. 3The LORDH3068 will notH3808 sufferH7456 the soulH5315 of the righteousH6662 to famish: but he thrusteth awayH1920 the desireH5315 of the wickedH7563. 4He becometh poorH7326 that dealeth with a slack handH3027: but the handH3027 of the diligent maketh richH6238. 5He that gathereth in summerH7019 is a wiseH7919 sonH1121: but he that sleepeth in harvestH7105 is a sonH1121 that causeth shameH954. 6BlessingsH1293 are upon the headH7218 of the righteousH6662: but violenceH2555 covereth 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 prating foolH191 shall fall. 9He that walketh uprightly walketh surelyH1980: but he that perverteth his waysH1870 shall be knownH3045. 10He that winketh with the eyeH5869 causeth sorrow: but a prating foolH191 shall fall. 11The mouthH6310 of the righteousH6662 is a fountainH4726 of lifeH2416: but violenceH2555 covereth the mouthH6310 of the wickedH7563. 12HatredH8135 stirreth upH5921 strifes: but loveH160 covereth allH3605 transgressionsH6588. 13In the lipsH8193 of him that hath discernmentH3820 wisdomH2451 is foundH4672: but a rodH7626 is for the back of him that is void of understandingH995. 14WiseH2450 menH2450 lay upH6845 knowledgeH1847: but the mouthH6310 of the foolishH191 is a present destruction. 15The richH6223 man’sH6223 wealthH1952 is his strongH5797 cityH7151: the destruction of the poorH1800 is their povertyH7389. 16The labour of the righteousH6662 tendeth to lifeH2416; the increaseH8393 of the wickedH7563 to sinH2403. 17He is in the wayH734 of lifeH2416 that heedeth correctionH4148: but he that forsaketh reproofH8433 erreth. 18He that hideth hatredH8135 is of lyingH8267 lipsH8193; and he that uttereth a slanderH1681 is a foolH3684. 19In the multitudeH7230 of wordsH1697 there wanteth notH3808 transgressionH6588: but he that refraineth his lipsH8193 doeth wisely. 20The tongueH3956 of the righteousH6662 is as choiceH977 silverH3701: the heartH3820 of the wickedH7563 is littleH4592 worth. 21The lipsH8193 of the righteousH6662 feedH7462 manyH7227: but the foolishH191 dieH4191 for lackH2638 of understandingH3820. 22The blessingH1293 of the LORDH3068, it maketh richH6238, and he addeth noH3808 sorrow therewith. 23It is as sportH7814 to a foolH3684 to doH6213 wickednessH2154: and soH6213 is wisdomH2451 to a manH376 of understandingH8394. 24The fear of the wickedH7563, it shall comeH935 uponH935 him: and the desireH8378 of the righteousH6662 shall be grantedH5414. 25When the whirlwind passeth, the wickedH7563 is noH369 moreH369: but the righteousH6662 is an everlastingH5769 foundationH3247. 26As vinegarH2558 to the teethH8127, and as smokeH6227 to the eyesH5869, soH3651 is the sluggardH6102 to them that sendH7971 him. 27The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 prolongeth daysH3117: but the yearsH8141 of the wickedH7563 shall be shortenedH7114. 28The hopeH8615 of the righteousH6662 shall be gladnessH8057: but the expectationH8431 of the wickedH7563 shall perishH6. 29The wayH1870 of the LORDH3068 is a strongH4581 hold to the uprightH8537; but it is a destruction to the workersH6466 of iniquityH205. 30The righteousH6662 shall neverH3808 be removed: but the wickedH7563 shall notH3808 dwellH7931 in the landH776. 31The mouthH6310 of the righteousH6662 bringeth forth wisdomH2451: but the froward tongueH3956 shall be cutH3772 offH3772. 32The lipsH8193 of the righteousH6662 knowH3045 whatH7522 is acceptableH7522: but the mouthH6310 of the wickedH7563 speaketh frowardness.
