Pro Proverbs, chapter Proverbs of Solomon, chapter 10
THE PARABLE OF SALOMON. A wise sonne maketh a glad father: but a foolish sonne is an heauines to his mother. Pro 15:20The treasures of wickednesse profite nothing: but righteousnesse deliuereth from death. Pro 11:4; Job 20:20The Lord will not famish the soule of the righteous: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked. Psa 33:19; Isa 49:26A slouthfull hand maketh poore: but the hand of the diligent maketh riche. Pro 21:5He that gathereth in sommer, is the sonne of wisdome: but he that sleepeth in haruest, is the sonne of confusion. Blessings are vpon the head of the righteous: but iniquitie shall couer the mouth of the wicked. The memoriall of the iust shalbe blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rotte. Psa 112:6; Mat 26:13The wise in heart will receiue commandements: but the foolish in talke shalbe beaten. Psa 141:5; Jas 3:17He that walketh vprightly, walketh boldely: but he that peruerteth his wayes, shalbe knowen. He that winketh with the eye, worketh sorowe, and he yet is foolish in talke, shalbe beaten. Pro 6:13The mouth of a righteous man is a welspring of life: but iniquitie couereth the mouth of the wicked. Hatred stirreth vp contentions: but loue couereth all trespasses. 1Pe 4:8; 1Co 3:4In the lippes of him that hath vnderstanding wisdome is founde, and a rod shalbe for the backe of him that is destitute of wisedome. Wise men lay vp knowledge: but ye mouth of the foole is a present destruction. The riche mans goodes are his strong citie: but the feare of the needie is their pouertie. Pro 18:10The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: but the reuenues of the wicked to sinne. He that regardeth instruction, is in the way of life: but he that refuseth correction, goeth out of the way. Pro 12:1He that dissembleth hatred with lying lips, and he that inuenteth slaunder, is a foole. In many wordes there cannot want iniquitie: but he that refrayneth his lippes, is wise. Ecc 10:14The tongue of the iust man is as fined siluer: but the heart of the wicked is litle worth. The lippes of the righteous doe feede many: but fooles shall die for want of wisedome. Mat 12:35The blessing of the Lord, it maketh riche, and he doeth adde no sorowes with it. It is as a pastime to a foole to doe wickedly: but wisedome is vnderstanding to a man. That which the wicked feareth, shall come vpon him: but God wil graunt the desire of the righteous. As the whirlewinde passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is as an euerlasting foundation. Psa 37:36As vineger is to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the slouthful to them that send him. The feare of the Lord increaseth the dayes: but the yeeres of the wicked shalbe diminished. The patient abiding of the righteous shall be gladnesse: but the hope of the wicked shall perish. Job 8:13; Psa 112:10The way of the Lord is strength to the vpright man: but feare shall be for the workers of iniquitie. The righteous shall neuer be remooued: but the wicked shall not dwell in the land. The mouth of the iust shall be fruitfull in wisdome: but the tongue of the froward shall be cut out. The lips of the righteous knowe what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh froward things.
