CHAPTER 10

The proverbs

of Solomon:

A wise

son

brings joy

to his father,

but a foolish

son

grief

to his mother.

Ill-gotten

treasures

profit

nothing,

but righteousness

brings deliverance

from death.

The LORD

does not

let the righteous

go hungry,

but He denies

the craving

of the wicked.

Idle

hands

make

one poor,

but diligent

hands

bring wealth.

He who gathers

in summer

is a wise

son,

but he who sleeps

during harvest

is a disgraceful

son.

Blessings

are on the head

of the righteous,

but the mouth

of the wicked

conceals

violence.

The memory

of the righteous

is a blessing,

but the name

of the wicked

will rot.

A wise

heart

will receive

commandments,

but foolish

lips

will come to ruin.

He who walks

in integrity

walks

securely,

but he who perverts

his ways

will be found out.

He who winks

the eye

causes

grief,

and foolish

lips

will come to ruin.

The mouth

of the righteous

is a fountain

of life,

but the mouth

of the wicked

conceals

violence.

Hatred

stirs up

dissension,

but love

covers

all

transgressions.

Wisdom

is found

on the lips

of the discerning,

but a rod

is for the back

of him who lacks

judgment.

The wise

store up

knowledge,

but the mouth

of the fool

invites

destruction.

The wealth

of the rich man

is his fortified

city,

but poverty

is the ruin

of the poor.

The labor

of the righteous

leads to life,

but the gain

of the wicked

brings punishment.

Whoever heeds

instruction

is on the path

to life,

but he who ignores

reproof

goes astray.

The one who conceals

hatred

has lying

lips,

and whoever spreads

slander

is a fool.

When words

are many,

sin

is unavoidable,

but he who restrains

his lips

is wise.

The tongue

of the righteous

is choice

silver,

but the heart

of the wicked

has little worth.

The lips

of the righteous

feed

many,

but fools

die

for lack

of judgment.

The blessing

of the LORD

enriches,

and He adds

no

sorrow

to it.

The fool

delights

in shameful

conduct,

but a man

of understanding

has wisdom.

What the wicked

dreads

will overtake him,

but the desire

of the righteous

will be granted.

When the whirlwind

passes,

the wicked

are no more,

but the righteous

are secure

forever.

Like vinegar

to the teeth

and smoke

to the eyes,

so

is the sluggard

to those who send him.

The fear

of the LORD

prolongs

life,

but the years

of the wicked

will be shortened.

The hope

of the righteous

is joy,

but the expectations

of the wicked

will perish.

The way

of the LORD

is a refuge

to the upright,

but destruction

awaits those who do

evil.

The righteous

will never

be shaken,

but the wicked

will not

inhabit

the land.

The mouth

of the righteous

brings forth

wisdom,

but a perverse

tongue

will be cut out.

The lips

of the righteous

know

what is fitting,

but the mouth

of the wicked

is perverse.
