Proverbs 10 : 1 - 32
Chapter 10
| 1 | The proverbs of Solomon: A wise son makes a glad father, But a foolish son is the grief of his mother.
|
| 2 | Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, But righteousness delivers from death.
|
| 3 | The LORD will not allow the righteous soul to famish, But He casts away the desire of the wicked.
|
| 4 | He who has a slack hand becomes poor, But the hand of the diligent makes rich.
|
| 5 | He who gathers in summer is a wise son; He who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame.
|
| 6 | Blessings are on the head of the righteous, But violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
|
| 7 | The memory of the righteous is blessed, But the name of the wicked will rot.
|
| 8 | The wise in heart will receive commands, But a prating fool will fall.
|
| 9 | He who walks with integrity walks securely, But he who perverts his ways will become known.
|
| 10 | He who winks with the eye causes trouble, But a prating fool will fall.
|
| 11 | The mouth of the righteous is a well of life, But violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
|
| 12 | Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins.
|
| 13 | Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has understanding, But a rod is for the back of him who is devoid of understanding.
|
| 14 | Wise people store up knowledge, But the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
|
| 15 | The rich man's wealth is his strong city; The destruction of the poor is their poverty.
|
| 16 | The labor of the righteous leads to life, The wages of the wicked to sin.
|
| 17 | He who keeps instruction is in the way of life, But he who refuses correction goes astray.
|
| 18 | Whoever hides hatred has lying lips, And whoever spreads slander is a fool.
|
| 19 | In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise.
|
| 20 | The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; The heart of the wicked is worth little.
|
| 21 | The lips of the righteous feed many, But fools die for lack of wisdom.
|
| 22 | The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it.
|
| 23 | To do evil is like sport to a fool, But a man of understanding has wisdom.
|
| 24 | The fear of the wicked will come upon him, And the desire of the righteous will be granted.
|
| 25 | When the whirlwind passes by, the wicked is no more, But the righteous has an everlasting foundation.
|
| 26 | As vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, So is the lazy man to those who send him.
|
| 27 | The fear of the LORD prolongs days, But the years of the wicked will be shortened.
|
| 28 | The hope of the righteous will be gladness, But the expectation of the wicked will perish.
|
| 29 | The way of the LORD is strength for the upright, But destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.
|
| 30 | The righteous will never be removed, But the wicked will not inhabit the earth.
|
| 31 | The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, But the perverse tongue will be cut out.
|
| 32 | The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, But the mouth of the wicked what is perverse.
