10THE PROVERBS of Solomon: A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish {and} self-confident son is the grief of his mother.H4912H8010H2450H1121H8055H1H3684H1121H8424H5172Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation) delivers from death.H214H7562H3276H6666H5337H41943The Lord will not allow the [uncompromisingly] righteous to famish, but He thwarts the desire of the wicked.H3068H7456H5315H6662H7456H1920H1942H75634He becomes poor who works with a slack {and} idle hand, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.H7326H6213H7423H3709H3027H2742H62385He who gathers in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame.H103H7019H7919H1121H7290H7105H1121H9546Blessings are upon the head of the [uncompromisingly] righteous (the upright, in right standing with God) but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.H1293H7218H6662H2555H3680H6310H75637The memory of the [uncompromisingly] righteous is a blessing, but the name of the wicked shall rot.H2143H6662H1293H8034H7563H75378The wise in heart will accept {and} obey commandments, but the foolish of lips will fall headlong.H2450H3820H3947H4687H8193H191H38329He who walks uprightly walks securely, but he who takes a crooked way shall be found out {and} punished.H3212H8537H1980H983H6140H1870H304510He who winks with the eye [craftily and with malice] causes sorrow; the foolish of lips will fall headlong {but} {he who boldly reproves makes peace}.H7169H5869H5414H6094H8193H191H383211The mouth of the [uncompromisingly] righteous man is a well of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.H6310H6662H4726H2416H2555H3680H6310H756312Hatred stirs up contentions, but love covers all transgressions.H8135H5782H4090H160H3680H658813On the lips of him who has discernment skillful {and} godly Wisdom is found, but discipline {and} the rod are for the back of him who is without sense {and} understanding.H8193H995H2451H4672H7626H1460H2638H382014Wise men store up knowledge [in mind and heart], but the mouth of the foolish is a present destruction.H2450H6845H1847H6310H191H7138H428815The rich man's wealth is his strong city; the poverty of the poor is their ruin.H6223H1952H5797H7151H4288H1800H738916The earnings of the righteous (the upright, in right standing with God) lead to life, but the profit of the wicked leads to further sin.H6468H6662H2416H8393H7563H240317He who heeds instruction {and} correction is [not only himself] in the way of life [but also] is a way of life for others. And he who neglects {or} refuses reproof [not only himself] goes astray [but also] causes to err {and} is a path toward ruin for others.H734H2416H8104H4148H5800H8433H858218He who hides hatred is of lying lips, and he who utters slander is a [self-confident] fool.H3680H8135H8267H8193H3318H1681H368419In a multitude of words transgression is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is prudent.H7230H1697H2308H6588H2820H8193H791920The tongues of those who are upright {and} in right standing with God are as choice silver; the minds of those who are wicked {and} out of harmony with God are of little value.H3956H6662H977H3701H3820H7563H459221The lips of the [uncompromisingly] righteous feed {and} guide many, but fools die for want of understanding {and} heart.H8193H6662H7462H7227H191H4191H2638H382022The blessing of the Lord--it makes [truly] rich, and He adds no sorrow with it [neither does toiling increase it].H1293H3068H6238H3254H608923It is as sport to a [self-confident] fool to do wickedness, but to have skillful {and} godly Wisdom is pleasure {and} relaxation to a man of understanding.H7814H3684H6213H2154H376H8394H245124The thing a wicked man fears shall come upon him, but the desire of the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall be granted.H4034H7563H935H8378H6662H541425When the whirlwind passes, the wicked are no more, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous have an everlasting foundation.H5492H5674H7563H6662H5769H324726As vinegar to the teeth and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to those who employ {and} send him.H2558H8127H6227H5869H6102H797127The reverent {and} worshipful fear of the Lord prolongs one's days, but the years of the wicked shall be made short.H3374H3068H3254H3117H8141H7563H711428The hope of the [uncompromisingly] righteous (the upright, in right standing with God) is gladness, but the expectation of the wicked (those who are out of harmony with God) comes to nothing.H8431H6662H8057H8615H7563H629The way of the Lord is strength {and} a stronghold to the upright, but it is destruction to the workers of iniquity.H1870H3068H4581H8537H4288H6466H20530The [consistently] righteous shall never be removed, but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth [eventually].H6662H5769H4131H7563H7931H77631The mouths of the righteous (those harmonious with God) bring forth skillful {and} godly Wisdom, but the perverse tongue shall be cut down [like a barren and rotten tree].H6310H6662H5107H2451H8419H3956H377232The lips of the [uncompromisingly] righteous know [and therefore utter] what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked knows [and therefore speaks only] what is obstinately willful {and} contrary.H8193H6662H3045H7522H6310H7563H8419
