Proverbs 10:1-32 LSB

[1] The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish son is a grief to his mother. [2] Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit, But righteousness delivers from death. [3] Yahweh will not allow the soul of the righteous to hunger, But He will push away the craving of the wicked. [4] Poor is he who works with a slack hand, But the hand of the diligent makes rich. [5] He who gathers in summer is a son who acts insightfully, But he who sleeps in harvest is a son who acts shamefully. [6] Blessings are on the head of the righteous, But the mouth of the wicked covers up violence. [7] The remembrance of the righteous is blessed, But the name of the wicked will rot. [8] The wise of heart will receive commandments, But an ignorant fool of loose lips will be ruined. [9] He who walks in integrity walks securely, But he who makes his ways crooked will be found out. [10] He who winks the eye causes pain, And an ignorant fool of loose lips will be ruined. [11] The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, But the mouth of the wicked covers up violence. [12] Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all transgressions. [13] On the lips of the one who has understanding, wisdom is found, But a rod is for the back of him who lacks a heart of wisdom. [14] Wise men store up knowledge, But the mouth of the ignorant fool draws ruin near. [15] The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, The ruin of the poor is their poverty. [16] The wages of the righteous is life, The income of the wicked, punishment. [17] He is on the path of life who keeps discipline, But he who forsakes reproof makes himself wander about. [18] He who covers up hatred has lying lips, And he who spreads a bad report is a fool. [19] When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, But he who holds back his lips has insight. [20] The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver, The heart of the wicked is worth little. [21] The lips of the righteous feed many, But ignorant fools die for lack of a heart of wisdom. [22] It is the blessing of Yahweh that makes rich, And He adds no pain with it. [23] Doing wickedness is like laughing to a fool, And so is wisdom to a man of discernment. [24] What the wicked dreads will come upon him, But the desire of the righteous will be granted. [25] When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more, But the righteous has an everlasting foundation. [26] Like vinegar to the teeth and like smoke to the eyes, So is the sluggard to those who send him. [27] The fear of Yahweh prolongs life, But the years of the wicked will be shortened. [28] The expectation of the righteous is gladness, But the hope of the wicked will perish. [29] The way of Yahweh is a stronghold to the one with integrity, But ruin to the workers of iniquity. [30] The righteous will never be shaken, But the wicked will not dwell in the land. [31] The mouth of the righteous bears wisdom, But the tongue of perversions will be cut out. [32] The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, But the mouth of the wicked what is perverse.
