Pro Proverbs, chapter Proverbs of Solomon, chapter 10
The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish son is the grief of his mother. Pro 15:20Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; but righteousness delivereth from death. Pro 11:4; Job 20:20The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; but He thrusteth away the desire of the wicked. Psa 33:19; Isa 49:26He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand; but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. Pro 21:5A wise son gathereth in summer; but a son that doeth shamefully sleepeth in harvest. Blessings are upon the head of the righteous; but the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence. The memory of the righteous shall be for a blessing; but the name of the wicked shall rot. Psa 112:6The wise in heart will receive commandments; but a prating fool shall fall. Psa 141:5He that walketh uprightly walketh securely; but he that perverteth his ways shall be found out. He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; and a prating fool shall fall. Pro 6:13The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life; but the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence. Hatred stirreth up strifes; but love covereth all transgressions. 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. Wise men lay up knowledge; but the mouth of the foolish is an imminent ruin. The rich man's wealth is his strong city; the ruin of the poor is their poverty. Pro 18:10The wages of the righteous is life; the increase of the wicked is sin. He is in the way of life that heedeth instruction; but he that forsaketh reproof erreth. Pro 12:1He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; and he that uttereth a slander is a fool. In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; but he that refraineth his lips is wise. Ecc 10:14The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver; the heart of the wicked is little worth. The lips of the righteous feed many; but the foolish die for want of understanding. The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and toil addeth nothing thereto. It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness, and so is wisdom to a man of discernment. The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him; and the desire of the righteous shall be granted. When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is no more; but the righteous is an everlasting foundation. Psa 37:36As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him. The fear of the LORD prolongeth days; but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. The hope of the righteous is gladness; but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. Job 8:13; Psa 112:10The way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright, but ruin to the workers of iniquity. The righteous shall never be moved; but the wicked shall not inhabit the land. The mouth of the righteous buddeth with wisdom; but the froward tongue shall be cut off. The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable; but the mouth of the wicked is all frowardness.
