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. |
