Proverbios 10

¹ The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father; But a foolish son is the grief of his mother. ² Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; But righteousness delivereth from death. ³ The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; But He thrusteth away the desire of the wicked. ⁴ He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand; But the hand of the diligent maketh rich. ⁵ A wise son gathereth in summer; But a son that doeth shamefully sleepeth in harvest. ⁶ Blessings are upon the head of the righteous; But the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence. ⁷ The memory of the righteous shall be for a blessing; But the name of the wicked shall rot. ⁸ The wise in heart will receive commandments; But a prating fool shall fall. ⁹ He that walketh uprightly walketh securely; But he that perverteth his ways shall be found out. ¹⁰ He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; And a prating fool shall fall. ¹¹ The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life; But the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence. ¹² Hatred stirreth up strifes; But love covereth all transgressions. ¹³ 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. ¹⁴ Wise men lay up knowledge; But the mouth of the foolish is an imminent ruin. 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 increase of the wicked is sin. ¹⁷ He is in the way of life that heedeth instruction; But he that forsaketh reproof erreth. ¹⁸ He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; And he that uttereth a slander is a fool. ¹⁹ In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; But he that refraineth his lips is wise. ²⁰ The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver; The heart of the wicked is little worth. ²¹ The lips of the righteous feed many; But the foolish die for want of understanding. ²² The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, And toil addeth nothing thereto. ²³ It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness, And so is wisdom to a man of discernment. ²⁴ The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him; And the desire of the righteous shall be granted. ²⁵ When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is no more; But the righteous is an everlasting foundation. ²⁶ As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, So is the sluggard to them that send him. ²⁷ The fear of the LORD prolongeth days; But the years of the wicked shall be shortened. ²⁸ The hope of the righteous is gladness; But the expectation of the wicked shall perish. ²⁹ The way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright, But ruin to the workers of iniquity. ³⁰ The righteous shall never be moved; But the wicked shall not inhabit the land. ³¹ The mouth of the righteous buddeth with wisdom; But the froward tongue shall be cut off. ³² The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable; But the mouth of the wicked is all frowardness.
