# 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. |
