Proverbs 10:1-22

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.
