Proverbs 10

Proverbs of Solomon A son wise makes rejoice a father, but a son, foolish (is) sorrow of his mother. Not do profit treasures of wickedness; but righteousness delivers from death. Not allows to hunger Jehovah the soul of the righteous; but desire the wicked’s He pushes away. (Becomes) poor he who deals (with) a palm lazy; but hand the hard worker’s makes rich. He who gathers in summer (is) a son prudent; he who sleeps in harvest (is) a son causing shame. Blessings (are) in the hand of the just but mouth the wicked’s covers violence. the memory of the just (is) for a blessing, but the name of the wicked shall rot; The wise of heart accepts commands; but the foolish of lips shall be thrust away. He who walks in integrity walks safely but he who perverts his ways shall be known. One winking the eye gives pain, but the foolish of lips shall be thrust away. A fountain of life (is) mouth the righteous; but mouth the wicked’s covers violence. Hatred stirs up strifes, but over all transgressions covers love. On the lips of the discerning is found wisdom; but a rod (is) for the back of one lacking heart. The wise store up knowledge; but mouth the fool’s ruin (is) near. Wealth of the rich man (is) the city of his strength; the ruin of the poor (is) their poverty. The work of the righteous (is) for life; the gain of the wicked (is) for sin. (on) the path to life (is) one keeping instruction; but one forsaking reproof (is) going astray. He who hides hatred (has) lips of falsehood, and one sending out slander he (is) a fool. In abundance of words not ceases transgression; but one restraining his lips (is) prudent silver choice (is) the tongue of the just; the heart of the wicked (is) as a little. the lips of the righteous feed many; but fools in lack of heart die. The blessing of Jehovah, it makes rich; and not He adds pain with it. As laughter to the foolish to work out evil devices; so wisdom (is) to the man of understanding. What is feared by the wicked, that shall come upon him; but the desire of the righteous is given. As passes the tempest, so is not the wicked; but the righteous (is) a foundation everlasting. Like vinegar to the teeth, and like smoke to the eyes, so (is) the lazy man to those sending him. The fear of Jehovah prolongs days; but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. The hope of the righteous (is) joy; but the hope of the wicked shall perish. (Is) strength to the upright the way of Jehovah, but ruin to workers of evil. The righteous forever not shall be shaken, but the wicked not shall swell in the land. Mouth the righteous’ flourishes (with) wisdom; but the tongue of perversities shall be cut off The lips of the righteous know what is pleasing; but mouth the wicked’s, (only) perversities.
