Proverbs 10 — DBY

10Verse 1The Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish son is the grief of his mother.^{Verse 2}Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; but righteousness delivereth from death.^{Verse 3}Jehovah suffereth not the soul of the righteous [man] to famish; but he repelleth the craving of the wicked.^{Verse 4}He cometh to want that dealeth with a slack hand; but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.^{Verse 5}He that gathereth in summer is a wise son; he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.^{Verse 6}Blessings are upon the head of a righteous [man]; but the mouth of the wicked covereth violence.^{Verse 7}The memory of the righteous [man] shall be blessed; but the name of the wicked shall rot.^{Verse 8}The wise in heart receiveth commandments; but a prating fool shall fall.^{Verse 9}He that walketh in integrity walketh securely; but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.^{Verse 10}He that winketh with the eye causeth grief, and a prating fool shall fall.^{Verse 11}The mouth of a righteous [man] is a fountain of life; but the mouth of the wicked covereth violence.^{Verse 12}Hatred stirreth up strifes; but love covereth all transgressions.^{Verse 13}In the lips of an intelligent [man] wisdom is found; but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.^{Verse 14}The wise lay up knowledge; but the mouth of the fool is near destruction.^{Verse 15}The rich man's wealth is his strong city; the destruction of the poor is their poverty.^{Verse 16}The labour of a righteous [man] [tendeth] to life; the revenue of a wicked [man], to sin.^{Verse 17}Keeping instruction is the path to life; but he that forsaketh reproof goeth astray.^{Verse 18}He that covereth hatred hath lying lips, and he that sendeth forth a slander is a fool.^{Verse 19}In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; but he that restraineth his lips doeth wisely.^{Verse 20}The tongue of the righteous [man] is [as] choice silver; the heart of the wicked is little worth.^{Verse 21}The lips of a righteous [man] feed many; but fools die for want of understanding.^{Verse 22}The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow to it.^{Verse 23}It is as sport to a foolish [man] to do wickedness; but a man of understanding hath wisdom.^{Verse 24}The fear of a wicked [man], it shall come upon him; but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.^{Verse 25}As a whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no [more]; but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.^{Verse 26}As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.^{Verse 27}The fear of Jehovah prolongeth days; but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.^{Verse 28}The hope of the righteous is joy; but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.^{Verse 29}The way of Jehovah is strength to the perfect [man], but destruction to the workers of iniquity.^{Verse 30}The righteous [man] shall never be moved; but the wicked shall not inhabit the land.^{Verse 31}The mouth of a righteous [man] putteth forth wisdom; but the froward tongue shall be cut out.^{Verse 32}The lips of a righteous [man] know what is acceptable; but the mouth of the wicked is frowardness.
