Proverbs 10

1 From this chapter to the five and twentieth are sundry observations of moral virtues, and their contrary vices.

 10:1 ¶ The Proverbs of Solomon: A wise son, maketh a glad father, but, a foolish son, is the grief of his mother.

 10:2 ¶ The treasures of lawlessness, do not profit, but, righteousness, delivereth from death.

 10:3 Yahweh, suffereth not to famish, the soul of the righteous, but, the desire of the lawless, he thrusteth away.

 10:4 ¶ He becometh poor, who dealeth with a slack hand, but, the hand of the diligent, maketh rich.

 10:5 ¶ He that gathereth in summer, is a prudent son, he that sleepeth long in harvest, is a son causing shame.

 10:6 ¶ Blessings, are for the head of the righteous man, but, the mouth of the lawless, covereth up wrong.

 10:7 ¶ The memory of the righteous, yieldeth blessing, but, the name of the lawless, dieth out.

 10:8 ¶ The wise in heart, will accept commandments, but, he that is foolish with his lips, shall be thrust away.

 10:9 ¶ He that walketh uprightly, may walk securely, but, he that maketh crooked his ways, shall be found out.

 10:10 ¶ He that winketh with the eye, causeth sorrow, and, he that is foolish with his lips, shall be thrust aside.

 10:11 ¶ A well-spring of life, is the mouth of the righteous, but, the mouth of the lawless, covereth wrong.

 10:12 ¶ Hatred, stirreth up strifes, but, over all transgressions, love throweth a covering.

 10:13 ¶ In the lips of the intelligent, is found wisdom, but, a rod, is for the back of him that lacketh sense.

 10:14 ¶ Wise men, treasure up knowledge, but, the mouth of the foolish, is a terror near at hand.

 10:15 ¶ The substance of the rich, is his strong city, the terror of the poor, is their poverty.

 10:16 ¶ The labour of the righteous, [leadeth] to life, the increase of the lawless, to sin.

 10:17 ¶ On the way to life, is he that heedeth correction, but, he that hateth reproof, is going astray.

 10:18 ¶ He that concealeth hatred, hath false lips, and he that sendeth forth slander, the same, is a dullard.

 10:19 ¶ In the multitude of words, there wanteth not transgression, but, he that restraineth his lips, sheweth prudence.

 10:20 ¶ Choice silver, is the tongue of the righteous, but, the sense of the lawless, is very small.

 10:21 The lips of the righteous, feed multitudes, but, the foolish, for lack of sense, shall die.

 10:22 ¶ The blessing of Yahweh, itself maketh rich, and he addeth no grievance therewith.

 10:23 ¶ It is, mere sport to a stupid man, to commit lewdness, but, wisdom, pertaineth to a man of understanding.

 10:24 ¶ The dread of the lawless one, the same, shall overtake him, but, the desire of the righteous, shall he granted.

 10:25 Like the passing away of a tempest, so the lawless one is not, but, the righteous, [hath] an age-abiding foundation.

 10:26 ¶ As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so, is the sluggard, to them who send him.

 10:27 ¶ The reverence of Yahweh, addeth days, but, the years of the lawless, shall be shortened.

 10:28 The hope of the righteous, shall be gladness, but, the expectation of the lawless, shall vanish.

 10:29 ¶ A refuge for the blameless, is the path of Yahweh, but, destruction, [awaiteth] the workers of iniquity.

 10:30 The righteous, to times age-abiding, shall remain unshaken, but, the lawless, shall not inhabit the earth.

 10:31 ¶ The mouth of the righteous, beareth the fruit of wisdom, but, a perverse tongue, shall be cut off.

 10:32 The lips of the righteous, know what is pleasing, but, the mouth of the lawless, [speaketh] perversities.
