Proverbs 10

Verses

1The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.2Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.3The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.4He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.5He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.7The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.8The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.9He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.10He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.11The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.12Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.14Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.15The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.17He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.18He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.19In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.21The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.22The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.23It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.24The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.27The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.28The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.31The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.
