Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son causes a father to rejoice, || And a foolish son [is] an affliction to his mother. Pro 15:20Treasures of wickedness do not profit, || And righteousness delivers from death. Pro 11:4; Job 20:20YHWH does not cause the soul of the righteous to hunger, || And He thrusts away the desire of the wicked. Psa 33:19; Isa 49:26Poor [is] he who is working [with] a slothful hand, || And the hand of the diligent makes rich. Pro 21:5Whoever is gathering in summer [is] a wise son, || Whoever is sleeping in harvest [is] a son causing shame. Blessings [are] for the head of the righteous, || And the mouth of the wicked covers violence. The remembrance of the righteous [is] for a blessing, || And the name of the wicked rots. Psa 112:6; Mat 26:13The wise in heart accepts commands, || And a talkative fool kicks. Psa 141:5; Jas 3:17Whoever is walking in integrity walks confidently, || And whoever is perverting his ways is known. Whoever is winking the eye gives grief, || And a talkative fool kicks. Pro 6:13A fountain of life [is] the mouth of the righteous, || And the mouth of the wicked covers violence. Hatred awakens contentions, || And love covers over all transgressions. 1Pe 4:8; 1Co 3:4Wisdom is found in the lips of the intelligent, || And a rod [is] for the back of him who is lacking understanding. The wise lay up knowledge, and the mouth of a fool [is] near ruin. The wealth of the rich [is] his strong city, || The ruin of the poor [is] their poverty. Pro 18:10The wage of the righteous [is] for life, || The increase of the wicked for sin. A traveler to life [is] he who is keeping instruction, || And whoever is forsaking rebuke is erring. Pro 12:1Whoever is covering hatred with lying lips, || And whoever is bringing out an evil report is a fool. In the abundance of words transgression does not cease, || And whoever is restraining his lips [is] wise. Ecc 10:14The tongue of the righteous [is] chosen silver, || The heart of the wicked—as a little thing. The lips of the righteous delight many, || And fools die for lack of heart. Mat 12:35The blessing of YHWH—it makes rich, || And He adds no grief with it. To execute inventions [is] as play to a fool, || And wisdom to a man of understanding. The feared thing of the wicked meets him, || And the desire of the righteous is given. As the passing by of a windstorm, || So the wicked is not, || And the righteous is a perpetual foundation. Psa 37:36As vinegar to the teeth, || And as smoke to the eyes, || So [is] the slothful to those sending him. The fear of YHWH adds days, || And the years of the wicked are shortened. The hope of the righteous [is] joyful, || And the expectation of the wicked perishes. Job 8:13; Psa 112:10The way of YHWH [is] strength to the perfect, || And ruin to workers of iniquity. The righteous is not moved for all time, || And the wicked do not inhabit the earth. The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, || And the tongue of contrariness is cut out. The lips of the righteous know a pleasing thing, || And the mouth of the wicked perverseness!
