The Proverbs, Chapter 10
|
| 1 |
The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a
foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.
|
| 2 |
Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness
delivereth from death.
|
| 3 |
The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but
he casteth away the substance of the wicked.
|
| 4 |
He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of
the diligent maketh rich.
|
| 5 |
He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth
in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
|
| 6 |
Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth
the mouth of the wicked.
|
| 7 |
The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked
shall rot.
|
| 8 |
The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool
shall fall.
|
| 9 |
He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth
his ways shall be known.
|
| 10 |
He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool
shall fall.
|
| 11 |
The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence
covereth the mouth of the wicked.
|
| 12 |
Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
|
| 13 |
In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but
a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
|
| 14 |
Wise men lay 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 labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the
wicked to sin.
|
| 17 |
He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that
refuseth reproof erreth.
|
| 18 |
He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a
slander, is a fool.
|
| 19 |
In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that
refraineth his lips is wise.
|
| 20 |
The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the
wicked is little worth.
|
| 21 |
The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of
wisdom.
|
| 22 |
The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no
sorrow with it.
|
| 23 |
It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of
understanding hath wisdom.
|
| 24 |
The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire
of the righteous shall be granted.
|
| 25 |
As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the
righteous is an everlasting foundation.
|
| 26 |
As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the
sluggard to them that send him.
|
| 27 |
The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the
wicked shall be shortened.
|
| 28 |
The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation
of the wicked shall perish.
|
| 29 |
The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction
shall be to the workers of iniquity.
|
| 30 |
The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not
inhabit the earth.
|
| 31 |
The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward
tongue shall be cut out.
|
| 32 |
The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth
of the wicked speaketh frowardness.
