The proverbs{H4912} of Solomon{H8010}. A wise{H2450} son{H1121} maketh a glad{H8055}{(H8762)} father{H1}: but a foolish{H3684} son{H1121} is the heaviness{H8424} of his mother{H517}.

Treasures{H214} of wickedness{H7562} profit{H3276}{(H8686)} nothing: but righteousness{H6666} delivereth{H5337}{(H8686)} from death{H4194}.

The LORD{H3068} will not suffer{H7456} the soul{H5315} of the righteous{H6662} to famish{H7456}{(H8686)}: but he casteth away{H1920}{(H8799)} the substance{H1942} of the wicked{H7563}.

He becometh poor{H7326}{(H8802)} that dealeth{H6213}{(H8802)} with a slack{H7423} hand{H3709}: but the hand{H3027} of the diligent{H2742} maketh rich{H6238}{(H8686)}.

He that gathereth{H103}{(H8802)} in summer{H7019} is a wise{H7919}{(H8688)} son{H1121}: but he that sleepeth{H7290}{(H8737)} in harvest{H7105} is a son{H1121} that causeth shame{H954}{(H8688)}.

Blessings{H1293} are upon the head{H7218} of the just{H6662}: but violence{H2555} covereth{H3680}{(H8762)} the mouth{H6310} of the wicked{H7563}.

The memory{H2143} of the just{H6662} is blessed{H1293}: but the name{H8034} of the wicked{H7563} shall rot{H7537}{(H8799)}.

The wise{H2450} in heart{H3820} will receive{H3947}{(H8799)} commandments{H4687}: but a prating{H8193} fool{H191} shall fall{H3832}{(H8735)}.

He that walketh{H3212}{(H8799)} uprightly{H8537} walketh{H1980}{(H8802)} surely{H983}: but he that perverteth{H6140}{(H8764)} his ways{H1870} shall be known{H3045}{(H8735)}.

He that winketh{H7169}{(H8802)} with the eye{H5869} causeth{H5414}{(H8799)} sorrow{H6094}: but a prating{H8193} fool{H191} shall fall{H3832}{(H8735)}.

The mouth{H6310} of a righteous{H6662} man is a well{H4726} of life{H2416}: but violence{H2555} covereth{H3680}{(H8762)} the mouth{H6310} of the wicked{H7563}.

Hatred{H8135} stirreth up{H5782}{(H8787)} strifes{H4090}: but love{H160} covereth{H3680}{(H8762)} all sins{H6588}.

In the lips{H8193} of him that hath understanding{H995}{(H8737)} wisdom{H2451} is found{H4672}{(H8735)}: but a rod{H7626} is for the back{H1460} of him that is void{H2638} of understanding{H3820}.

Wise{H2450} men lay up{H6845}{(H8799)} knowledge{H1847}: but the mouth{H6310} of the foolish{H191} is near{H7138} destruction{H4288}.

The rich man's{H6223} wealth{H1952} is his strong{H5797} city{H7151}: the destruction{H4288} of the poor{H1800} is their poverty{H7389}.

The labour{H6468} of the righteous{H6662} tendeth to life{H2416}: the fruit{H8393} of the wicked{H7563} to sin{H2403}.

He is in the way{H734} of life{H2416} that keepeth{H8104}{(H8802)} instruction{H4148}: but he that refuseth{H5800}{(H8802)} reproof{H8433} erreth{H8582}{(H8688)}.

He that hideth{H3680}{(H8764)} hatred{H8135} with lying{H8267} lips{H8193}, and he that uttereth{H3318}{(H8688)} a slander{H1681}, is a fool{H3684}.

In the multitude{H7230} of words{H1697} there wanteth{H2308}{(H8799)} not sin{H6588}: but he that refraineth{H2820}{(H8802)} his lips{H8193} is wise{H7919}{(H8688)}.

The tongue{H3956} of the just{H6662} is as choice{H977}{(H8737)} silver{H3701}: the heart{H3820} of the wicked{H7563} is little worth{H4592}.

The lips{H8193} of the righteous{H6662} feed{H7462}{(H8799)} many{H7227}: but fools{H191} die{H4191}{(H8799)} for want{H2638} of wisdom{H3820}.

The blessing{H1293} of the LORD{H3068}, it maketh rich{H6238}{(H8686)}, and he addeth{H3254}{(H8686)} no sorrow{H6089} with it.

It is as sport{H7814} to a fool{H3684} to do{H6213}{(H8800)} mischief{H2154}: but a man{H376} of understanding{H8394} hath wisdom{H2451}.

The fear{H4034} of the wicked{H7563}, it shall come{H935}{(H8799)} upon him: but the desire{H8378} of the righteous{H6662} shall be granted{H5414}{(H8799)}.

As the whirlwind{H5492} passeth{H5674}{(H8800)}, so is the wicked{H7563} no more: but the righteous{H6662} is an everlasting{H5769} foundation{H3247}.

As vinegar{H2558} to the teeth{H8127}, and as smoke{H6227} to the eyes{H5869}, so is the sluggard{H6102} to them that send{H7971}{(H8802)} him.

The fear{H3374} of the LORD{H3068} prolongeth{H3254}{(H8686)} days{H3117}: but the years{H8141} of the wicked{H7563} shall be shortened{H7114}{(H8799)}.

The hope{H8431} of the righteous{H6662} shall be gladness{H8057}: but the expectation{H8615} of the wicked{H7563} shall perish{H6}{(H8799)}.

The way{H1870} of the LORD{H3068} is strength{H4581} to the upright{H8537}: but destruction{H4288} shall be to the workers{H6466}{(H8802)} of iniquity{H205}.

The righteous{H6662} shall never{H5769} be removed{H4131}{(H8735)}: but the wicked{H7563} shall not inhabit{H7931}{(H8799)} the earth{H776}.

The mouth{H6310} of the just{H6662} bringeth forth{H5107}{(H8799)} wisdom{H2451}: but the froward{H8419} tongue{H3956} shall be cut out{H3772}{(H8735)}.

The lips{H8193} of the righteous{H6662} know{H3045}{(H8799)} what is acceptable{H7522}: but the mouth{H6310} of the wicked{H7563} speaketh frowardness{H8419}.
