# Proverbs 10 (New King James Version)
|
|
Wise Sayings of Solomon
|
|
|
|
##### 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.
