Proverbs 10:1-32 LSV

[1] Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son causes a father to rejoice, || And a foolish son [is] an affliction to his mother. [2] Treasures of wickedness do not profit, || And righteousness delivers from death. [3] YHWH does not cause the soul of the righteous to hunger, || And He thrusts away the desire of the wicked. [4] Poor [is] he who is working [with] a slothful hand, || And the hand of the diligent makes rich. [5] Whoever is gathering in summer [is] a wise son, || Whoever is sleeping in harvest [is] a son causing shame. [6] Blessings [are] for the head of the righteous, || And the mouth of the wicked covers violence. [7] The remembrance of the righteous [is] for a blessing, || And the name of the wicked rots. [8] The wise in heart accepts commands, || And a talkative fool kicks. [9] Whoever is walking in integrity walks confidently, || And whoever is perverting his ways is known. [10] Whoever is winking the eye gives grief, || And a talkative fool kicks. [11] A fountain of life [is] the mouth of the righteous, || And the mouth of the wicked covers violence. [12] Hatred awakens contentions, || And love covers over all transgressions. [13] Wisdom is found in the lips of the intelligent, || 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 traveler to life [is] he who is keeping instruction, || And whoever is forsaking rebuke is erring. [18] Whoever is covering hatred with lying lips, || And whoever is bringing out an evil report is a fool. [19] In the abundance of words transgression does not cease, || And whoever 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 die for lack of heart. [22] The blessing of YHWH—it makes rich, || And He adds 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 meets him, || And the desire of the righteous is given. [25] As the passing by of a windstorm, || So the wicked is not, || And the righteous is a perpetual foundation. [26] As vinegar to the teeth, || And as smoke to the eyes, || So [is] the slothful to those sending him. [27] The fear of YHWH adds days, || And the years of the wicked are shortened. [28] The hope of the righteous [is] joyful, || And the expectation of the wicked perishes. [29] The way of YHWH [is] strength to the perfect, || And ruin to workers of iniquity. [30] The righteous is not moved for all time, || And the wicked do not inhabit the earth. [31] The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, || And the tongue of contrariness is cut out. [32] The lips of the righteous know a pleasing thing, || And the mouth of the wicked perverseness!
