Proverbs 10

¹The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father; But a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

²Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; But righteousness delivereth from death.

³Jehovah will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; But he thrusteth away the desire of the wicked.

⁴He becometh poor that worketh with a slack hand; But the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

⁵He that gathereth in summer is a wise son; But he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

⁶Blessings are upon the head of the righteous; But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

⁷The memory of the righteous is blessed; But the name of the wicked shall rot.

⁸The wise in heart will receive commandments; But a prating fool shall fall.

⁹He that walketh uprightly walketh surely; But he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

¹⁰He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; But a prating fool shall fall.

¹¹The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life; But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

¹²Hatred stirreth up strifes; But love covereth all transgressions.

¹³In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found; But a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

¹⁴Wise men lay up knowledge; But the mouth of the foolish is a present destruction.
