Proverbs 10:1-32 NASB

[1] The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish son is a grief to his mother. [2] Ill-gotten gains do not benefit, But righteousness rescues from death. [3] The Lord will not allow the righteous to hunger, But He will reject the craving of the wicked. [4] Poor is one who works with a lazy hand, But the hand of the diligent makes rich. [5] He who gathers in summer is a son who acts wisely, 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 conceals violence. [7] The mentioning of the righteous is a blessing, But the name of the wicked will rot. [8] The wise of heart will receive commands, But a babbling fool will come to ruin. [9] One who walks in integrity walks securely, But one who perverts his ways will be found out. [10] He who winks the eye causes trouble, And a babbling fool will come to ruin. [11] The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, But the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. [12] Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all offenses. [13] On the lips of the discerning, wisdom is found, But a rod is for the back of him who has no sense. [14] Wise people store up knowledge, But with the mouth of the foolish, ruin is at hand. [15] The rich person’s wealth is his fortress, The ruin of the poor is their poverty. [16] The wages of the righteous is life, The income of the wicked, punishment. [17] One who is on the path of life follows instruction, But one who ignores a rebuke goes astray. [18] One who conceals hatred has lying lips, And one who spreads slander is a fool. [19] When there are many words, wrongdoing is unavoidable, But one who restrains his lips is wise. [20] The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver, The heart of the wicked is worth little. [21] The lips of the righteous feed many, But fools die for lack of understanding. [22] It is the blessing of the Lord that makes rich, And He adds no sorrow to it. [23] Doing wickedness is like sport to a fool, And so is wisdom to a person of understanding. [24] What the wicked fears 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 smoke to the eyes, So is the lazy one to those who send him. [27] The fear of the Lord prolongs life, But the years of the wicked will be shortened. [28] The hope of the righteous is gladness, But the expectation of the wicked perishes. [29] The way of the Lord is a stronghold for the upright, But ruin to the workers of injustice. [30] The righteous will never be shaken, But the wicked will not live in the land. [31] The mouth of the righteous flows with wisdom, But the perverted tongue will be cut out. [32] The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, But the mouth of the wicked, what is perverted.
