A wise son brings joy to his father,

5. The son who gathers during summer is prudent;
|
|
the son who sleeps during harvest is disgraceful.

|
|
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
|

|
|
|
|
8. A wise heart accepts commands,
|
|
but foolish lips will be destroyed.

|
11. The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,
|
|
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
|

|
12. Hatred stirs up conflicts,
|
|
but love covers all offenses.
|

15. The wealth of the rich is his fortified city;
|
|
the poverty of the poor is their destruction.

|
16. The reward of the righteous is life;
|
|
the wages of the wicked is punishment.

|
|
but the one who rejects correction goes astray.

|
|
and whoever spreads slander is a fool.
|
|
|
|
19. When there are many words, sin is unavoidable,
|
|
but the one who controls his lips is prudent.

|
|
the heart of the wicked is of little value.

|
|
but fools die for lack of sense.
|
|
|
|
22. The Lord's blessing enriches,
|
|
and he adds no painful effort to it.
|
|
|
|
23. As shameful conduct is pleasure for a fool,
|
|
so wisdom is for a person of understanding.

|
|
but what the righteous desire will be given to them.
|
|
|
|
25. When the whirlwind passes,
|
|
the wicked are no more,
|
|
but the righteous are secure forever.
|

|
|
so the slacker is to the one who sends him on an errand.
|
|
|
|

|
|
but the years of the wicked are cut short.
|
|
|
|
|
|
28. The hope of the righteous is joy,
|
|
but the expectation of the wicked will perish.
|
