| Proverbs 10: (YLT) |
| 1) Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son causeth a father to rejoice, And a foolish son [is] an affliction to his mother. |
| 2) Treasures of wickedness profit not, And righteousness delivereth from death. |
| 3) Jehovah causeth not the soul of the righteous to hunger, And the desire of the wicked He thrusteth away. |
| 4) Poor [is] he who is working -- a slothful hand, And the hand of the diligent maketh rich. |
| 5) Whoso is gathering in summer [is] a wise son, Whoso is sleeping in harvest [is] a son causing shame. |
| 6) Blessings [are] for the head of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence. |
| 7) The remembrance of the righteous [is] for a blessing, And the name of the wicked doth rot. |
| 8) The wise in heart accepteth commands, And a talkative fool kicketh. |
| 9) Whoso is walking in integrity walketh confidently, And whoso is perverting his ways is known. |
| 10) Whoso is winking the eye giveth grief, And a talkative fool kicketh. |
| 11) A fountain of life [is] the mouth of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence. |
| 12) Hatred awaketh contentions, And over all transgressions love covereth. |
| 13) In the lips of the intelligent is wisdom found, And a rod [is] for the back of him who is lacking understanding. |
| 14) The wise lay up knowledge, and the mouth of a fool [is] near ruin. |
| 15) The wealth of the rich [is] his strong city, The ruin of the poor [is] their poverty. |
| 16) The wage of the righteous [is] for life, The increase of the wicked for sin. |
| 17) A traveller to life [is] he who is keeping instruction, And whoso is forsaking rebuke is erring. |
| 18) Whoso is covering hatred with lying lips, And whoso is bringing out an evil report is a fool. |
| 19) In the abundance of words transgression ceaseth not, And whoso is restraining his lips [is] wise. |
| 20) The tongue of the righteous [is] chosen silver, The heart of the wicked -- as a little thing. |
| 21) The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools for lack of heart die. |
| 22) The blessing of Jehovah -- it maketh rich, And He addeth no grief with it. |
| 23) To execute inventions [is] as play to a fool, And wisdom to a man of understanding. |
| 24) The feared thing of the wicked it meeteth him, And the desire of the righteous is given. |
| 25) As the passing by of a hurricane, So the wicked is not, And the righteous is a foundation age-during. |
| 26) As vinegar to the teeth, And as smoke to the eyes, So [is] the slothful to those sending him. |
| 27) The fear of Jehovah addeth days, And the years of the wicked are shortened. |
| 28) The hope of the righteous [is] joyful, And the expectation of the wicked perisheth. |
| 29) The way of Jehovah [is] strength to the perfect, And ruin to workers of iniquity. |
| 30) The righteous to the age is not moved, And the wicked inhabit not the earth. |
| 31) The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And the tongue of frowardness is cut out. |
| 32) The lips of the righteous know a pleasing thing, And the mouth of the wicked perverseness! |
