The Proverbs of Solomon

10The proverbs of Solomon: A wise child brings joy to a father; a foolish child brings grief to a mother.H4912H8010H2450H1121H8055H1H3684H1121H8424H517 2Tainted wealth has no lasting value, but right living can save your life.H214H7562H3276H6666H5337H4194 3The Lord will not let the godly go hungry, but he refuses to satisfy the craving of the wicked.H3068H7456H5315H6662H7456H1920H1942H7563 4Lazy people are soon poor; hard workers get rich.H7326H6213H7423H3709H3027H2742H6238 5A wise youth harvests in the summer, but one who sleeps during harvest is a disgrace.H103H7019H7919H1121H7290H7105H1121H954 6The godly are showered with blessings; the words of the wicked conceal violent intentions.H1293H7218H6662H2555H3680H6310H7563 7We have happy memories of the godly, but the name of a wicked person rots away.H2143H6662H1293H8034H7563H7537 8The wise are glad to be instructed, but babbling fools fall flat on their faces.H2450H3820H3947H4687H8193H191H3832 9People with integrity walk safely, but those who follow crooked paths will slip and fall.H3212H8537H1980H983H6140H1870H3045 10People who wink at wrong cause trouble, but a bold reproof promotes peace.H7169H5869H5414H6094H8193H191H3832 11The words of the godly are a life-giving fountain; the words of the wicked conceal violent intentions.H6310H6662H4726H2416H2555H3680H6310H7563 12Hatred stirs up quarrels, but love makes up for all offenses.H8135H5782H4090H160H3680H6588 13Wise words come from the lips of people with understanding, but those lacking sense will be beaten with a rod.H8193H995H2451H4672H7626H1460H2638H3820 14Wise people treasure knowledge, but the babbling of a fool invites disaster.H2450H6845H1847H6310H191H7138H4288 15The wealth of the rich is their fortress; the poverty of the poor is their destruction.H6223H1952H5797H7151H4288H1800H7389 16The earnings of the godly enhance their lives, but evil people squander their money on sin.H6468H6662H2416H8393H7563H2403 17People who accept discipline are on the pathway to life, but those who ignore correction will go astray.H734H2416H8104H4148H5800H8433H8582 18Hiding hatred makes you a liar; slandering others makes you a fool.H3680H8135H8267H8193H3318H1681H3684 19Too much talk leads to sin. Be sensible and keep your mouth shut.H7230H1697H2308H6588H2820H8193H7919 20The words of the godly are like sterling silver; the heart of a fool is worthless.H3956H6662H977H3701H3820H7563H4592 21The words of the godly encourage many, but fools are destroyed by their lack of common sense.H8193H6662H7462H7227H191H4191H2638H3820 22The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.H1293H3068H6238H3254H6089 23Doing wrong is fun for a fool, but living wisely brings pleasure to the sensible.H7814H3684H6213H2154H376H8394H2451 24The fears of the wicked will be fulfilled; the hopes of the godly will be granted.H4034H7563H935H8378H6662H5414 25When the storms of life come, the wicked are whirled away, but the godly have a lasting foundation.H5492H5674H7563H6662H5769H3247 26Lazy people irritate their employers, like vinegar to the teeth or smoke in the eyes.H2558H8127H6227H5869H6102H7971 27Fear of the Lord lengthens one’s life, but the years of the wicked are cut short.H3374H3068H3254H3117H8141H7563H7114 28The hopes of the godly result in happiness, but the expectations of the wicked come to nothing.H8431H6662H8057H8615H7563H6 29The way of the Lord is a stronghold to those with integrity, but it destroys the wicked.H1870H3068H4581H8537H4288H6466H205 30The godly will never be disturbed, but the wicked will be removed from the land.H6662H5769H4131H7563H7931H776 31The mouth of the godly person gives wise advice, but the tongue that deceives will be cut off.H6310H6662H5107H2451H8419H3956H3772 32The lips of the godly speak helpful words, but the mouth of the wicked speaks perverse words.H8193H6662H3045H7522H6310H7563H8419
