Proverbs 10: (ASV)
|
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) Jehovah will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; But he thrusteth away the desire of the wicked.
|
4) He becometh poor that worketh 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 righteous; But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
|
7) The memory of the righteous 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 the righteous is a fountain of life; But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
|
12) Hatred stirreth up strifes; But love covereth all transgressions.
|
13) In the lips of him that hath discernment 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 a present 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 tendeth to life; The increase of the wicked, to sin.
|
17) He is in the way of life that heedeth correction; But he that forsaketh reproof erreth.
|
18) He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; And he that uttereth a slander is a fool.
|
19) In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.
|
20) The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver: The heart of the wicked is little worth.
|
21) The lips of the righteous feed many; But the foolish die for lack of understanding.
|
22) The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich; And he addeth no sorrow therewith.
|
23) It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness; And so is wisdom to a man of understanding.
|
24) The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him; And the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
|
25) When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is 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 Jehovah 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 Jehovah is a stronghold to the upright; But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
|
30) The righteous shall never be removed; But the wicked shall not dwell in the land.
|
31) The mouth of the righteous bringeth forth wisdom; But the perverse tongue shall be cut off.
|
32) The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable; But the mouth of the wicked speaketh perverseness.
