  The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son [is] the heaviness of his mother.  

 

 

--

2


 

  Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.

  The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.  

 

 

--

4


 

  He becometh poor that dealeth [with] a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.  

 

 

--

5


 

  He that gathereth in summer [is] a wise son: [but] he that sleepeth in harvest [is] a son that causeth shame.  

 

 

--

6


 

  Blessings [are] upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.  

 

 

--

7


 

  The memory of the just [is] blessed: 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 surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.  

 

 

--

10


 

  He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.  

 

 

--

11


 

  The mouth of a righteous [man is] a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.  

 

 

--

12


 

  Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.  

 

 

--

13


 

  In the lips of him that hath understanding 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] near destruction.  

 

 

--

15


 

  The rich man's wealth [is] his strong city: the destruction of the poor [is] their poverty.  

 

 

--

16


 

  The labour of the righteous [tendeth] to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.  

 

 

--

17


 

  He [is in] the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.  

 

 

--

18


 

  He that hideth hatred [with] lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, [is] a fool.  

 

 

--

19


 

  In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips [is] wise.  

 

 

--

20


 

  The tongue of the just [is as] choice silver: the heart of the wicked [is] little worth.  

 

 

--

21


 

  The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.  

 

 

--

22


 

  The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.  

 

 

--

23


 

  [It is] as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.  

 

 

--

24


 

  The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.  

 

 

--

25


 

  As the whirlwind passeth, so [is] the wicked 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 [shall be] gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.  

 

 

--

29


 

  The way of the LORD [is] strength to the upright: but destruction [shall be] to the workers of iniquity.  

 

 

--

30


 

  The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.  

 

 

--

31


 

  The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.  

 

 

--

32


 

  The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked [speaketh] frowardness.
