Proverbs

Chapter 10

  1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father
    a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

  2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing
    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
    of the diligent maketh rich.

  5 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son
    sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

  6 Blessings are upon the head of the just
    the mouth of the wicked.

  7 The memory of the just is blessed
    shall rot.

  8 The wise in heart will receive commandments
    fool shall fall.

  9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely
    perverteth his ways shall be known.

 10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow
    fool shall fall.

 11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life
    covereth the mouth of the wicked.

 12 Hatred stirreth up strifes

 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
    near destruction.

 15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city
    the poor is their poverty.

 16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life
    wicked to sin.

 17 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction
    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
    refraineth his lips is wise.

 20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver
    wicked is little worth.

 21 The lips of the righteous feed many
    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
    understanding hath wisdom.

 24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him
    of the righteous shall be granted.

 25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more
    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
    wicked shall be shortened.

 28 The hope of the righteous shall be gladness
    expectation of the wicked shall perish.

 29 The way of the LORD is strength to the upright
    destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

 30 The righteous shall never be removed
    inhabit the earth.

 31 The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom
    tongue shall be cut out.

 32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable
    mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.
