Proverbs 10 — UBES

10Verse 1A wise son makes his father glad:
But a foolish son is a grief to his mother.
^{Verse 2}Treasures shall not profit the lawless:
But righteousness shall deliver from death.
^{Verse 3}The Lord will not famish a righteous soul:
But he will overthrow the life of the ungodly.^{Verse 4}Poverty brings a man low:
But the hands of the vigorous make rich.^{Verse 4}
A son who is instructed shall be wise,
And shall use the fool for a servant.
^{Verse 5}A wise son is saved from heat:
But a lawless son is blighted of the winds in harvest.^{Verse 6}The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the just:
But untimely grief shall cover the mouth of the ungodly.
^{Verse 7}The memory of the just is praised;
But the name of the ungodly man is extinguished.
^{Verse 8}A wise man in heart will receive commandments;
But he that is unguarded in his lips shall be overthrown in his perverseness.
^{Verse 9}He that walks simply, walks confidently;
But he that perverts his ways shall be known.
^{Verse 10}He that winks with his eyes deceitfully, procures griefs for men;
But he that reproves boldly is a peacemaker.
^{Verse 11}There is a fountain of life in the hand of a righteous man;
But destruction shall cover the mouth of the ungodly.^{Verse 12}Hatred stirs up strife;
But affection covers all that do not love strife.
^{Verse 13}He that brings forth wisdom from his lips
Smites the fool with a rod.
^{Verse 14}The wise will hide discretion;
But the mouth of the hasty draws near to ruin.
^{Verse 15}The wealth of rich men is a strong city;
But poverty is the ruin of the ungodly.
^{Verse 16}The works of the righteous produce life;
But the fruits of the ungodly produce sins.
^{Verse 17}Instruction keeps the right ways of life;
But instruction unchastened goes astray.^{Verse 18}Righteous lips cover enmity;
But they that utter railings are most foolish.
^{Verse 19}By a multitude of words thou shalt not escape sin;
But if thou refrain thy lips thou wilt be prudent.
^{Verse 20}The tongue of the just is tried silver;
But the heart of the ungodly shall fail.
^{Verse 21}The lips of the righteous know sublime truths:
But the foolish die in want.
^{Verse 22}The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the righteous;
It enriches him, and grief of heart shall not be added to it.^{Verse 23}A fool does mischief in sport;
But wisdom brings forth prudence for a man.^{Verse 24}The ungodly is engulfed in destruction;
But the desire of the righteous is acceptable.
^{Verse 25}When the storm passes by, the ungodly vanishes away;
But the righteous turns aside and escapes forever.
^{Verse 26}As a sour grape is hurtful to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes,
So iniquity hurts those that practice it.
^{Verse 27}The fear of the Lord adds length of days:
But the years of the ungodly shall be shortened.
^{Verse 28}Joy rests long with the righteous:
But the hope of the ungodly shall perish.
^{Verse 29}The fear of the Lord is a stronghold of the saints:
But ruin comes to them that work wickedness.^{Verse 30}The righteous shall never fail:
But the ungodly shall not dwell in the earth.
^{Verse 31}The mouth of the righteous drops wisdom:
But the tongue of the unjust shall perish.
^{Verse 32}The lips of just men drop grace:
But the mouth of the ungodly is perverse.
