The
proverbs
of
Solomon.
A
wise
son
maketh
a
glad
father:
but
a
foolish
son
[is]
the
heaviness
of
his
mother.
2
Treasures
of
wickedness
profit
nothing:
but
righteousness
delivereth
from
death.
3
The
LORD
will
not
suffer
the
soul
of
the
righteous
to
famish:
but
he
casteth
away
the
substance
of
the
wicked.
4
He
becometh
poor
that
dealeth
[with]
a
slack
hand:
but
the
hand
of
the
diligent
maketh
rich.
5
He
that
gathereth
in
summer
[is]
a
wise
son:
[but]
he
that
sleepeth
in
harvest
[is]
a
son
that
causeth
shame.
6
Blessings
[are]
upon
the
head
of
the
just:
but
violence
covereth
the
mouth
of
the
wicked.
7
The
memory
of
the
just
[is]
blessed:
but
the
name
of
the
wicked
shall
rot.
8
The
wise
in
heart
will
receive
commandments:
but
a
prating
fool
shall
fall.
9
He
that
walketh
uprightly
walketh
surely:
but
he
that
perverteth
his
ways
shall
be
known.
10
He
that
winketh
with
the
eye
causeth
sorrow:
but
a
prating
fool
shall
fall.
11
The
mouth
of
a
righteous
[man
is]
a
well
of
life:
but
violence
covereth
the
mouth
of
the
wicked.
12
Hatred
stirreth
up
strifes:
but
love
covereth
all
sins.
13
In
the
lips
of
him
that
hath
understanding
wisdom
is
found:
but
a
rod
[is]
for
the
back
of
him
that
is
void
of
understanding.
14
Wise
[men]
lay
up
knowledge:
but
the
mouth
of
the
foolish
[is]
near
destruction.
15
The
rich
man’s
wealth
[is]
his
strong
city:
the
destruction
of
the
poor
[is]
their
poverty.
16
The
labour
of
the
righteous
[tendeth]
to
life:
the
fruit
of
the
wicked
to
sin.
17
He
[is
in]
the
way
of
life
that
keepeth
instruction:
but
he
that
refuseth
reproof
erreth.
18
He
that
hideth
hatred
[with]
lying
lips,
and
he
that
uttereth
a
slander,
[is]
a
fool.
19
In
the
multitude
of
words
there
wanteth
not
sin:
but
he
that
refraineth
his
lips
[is]
wise.
20
The
tongue
of
the
just
[is
as]
choice
silver:
the
heart
of
the
wicked
[is]
little
worth.
21
The
lips
of
the
righteous
feed
many:
but
fools
die
for
want
of
wisdom.
22
The
blessing
of
the
LORD,
it
maketh
rich,
and
he
addeth
no
sorrow
with
23
[It
is]
as
sport
to
a
fool
to
do
mischief:
but
a
man
of
understanding
hath
wisdom.
24
The
fear
of
the
wicked,
it
shall
come
upon
him:
but
the
desire
of
the
righteous
shall
be
granted.
25
As
the
whirlwind
passeth,
so
[is]
the
wicked
no
[more]:
but
the
righteous
[is]
an
everlasting
foundation.
26
As
vinegar
to
the
teeth,
and
as
smoke
to
the
eyes,
so
[is]
the
sluggard
to
them
that
send
him.
27
The
fear
of
the
LORD
prolongeth
days:
but
the
years
of
the
wicked
shall
be
shortened.
28
The
hope
of
the
righteous
[shall
be]
gladness:
but
the
expectation
of
the
wicked
shall
perish.
29
The
way
of
the
LORD
[is]
strength
to
the
upright:
but
destruction
[shall
be]
to
the
workers
of
iniquity.
30
The
righteous
shall
never
be
removed:
but
the
wicked
shall
not
inhabit
the
earth.
31
The
mouth
of
the
just
bringeth
forth
wisdom:
but
the
froward
tongue
shall
be
cut
out.
32
The
lips
of
the
righteous
know
what
is
acceptable:
but
the
mouth
of
the
wicked
[speaketh]
frowardness.
