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