001The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.
002Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.
003The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.
004He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
005He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
006Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
007The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.
008The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.
009He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.
010He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.
011The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
012Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
013In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
014Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
015The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
016The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
017He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
018He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
019In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
020The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.
021The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.
022The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
023It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.
024The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
025As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
026As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.
027The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
028The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
029The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
030The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.
031The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.
032The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.
