The proverbs of Solomon
The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes his father glad, but a foolish son brings grief to his mother. Treasures gained by wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death. The LORD won't let the soul of the righteous go hungry, but he casts away the substance of the wicked. A slack hand makes a man poor, but diligent hands make him rich. Whoever gathers in summer is a wise son, but whoever sleeps through harvest brings shame. Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot. The wise in heart receive commandments, but a babbling fool will fall. Whoever walks uprightly walks safely, but whoever twists his ways will be found out. Whoever winks with the eye causes sorrow, and a babbling fool will fall. The mouth of a righteous man is a fountain of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers all sins. Wisdom is found on the lips of a person of understanding, but a rod is for the back of one who lacks sense. Wise people store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool is near destruction. A rich man's wealth is his strong city; the destruction of the poor is their poverty. The labour of the righteous leads to life; the fruit of the wicked leads to sin. Whoever keeps instruction is on the way of life, but whoever rejects correction goes astray. Whoever hides hatred with lying lips, and whoever spreads slander, is a fool. When words are many, sin isn't far away; whoever holds his tongue is wise. The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; the heart of the wicked is worth little. The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of wisdom. The blessing of the LORD makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it. Doing mischief is like sport to a fool, but a man of understanding has wisdom. What the wicked fears will come upon him, but the desire of the righteous will be granted. When the whirlwind passes, the wicked are gone, but the righteous have an everlasting foundation. Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, so is a lazy man to those who send him. The fear of the LORD lengthens days, but the years of the wicked will be shortened. The hope of the righteous will be gladness, but the expectation of the wicked will perish. The way of the LORD is strength to the upright, but destruction comes to workers of wrongdoing. The righteous will never be removed, but the wicked will not inhabit the earth. The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut out. The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked speaks perversity.
The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. Treasures of wickedness are no use, but righteousness rescues from death. The Lord won't let the soul of the righteous go hungry, but he throws away what the wicked want. The one who works with a slack hand turns poor, but the hand of the hard worker makes rich. The one who gathers in summer is a wise son, but the one who sleeps in harvest is a son who brings shame. Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot. The wise in heart will take orders, but a babbling fool will fall. The one who walks straight walks safely, but the one who twists his ways will be found out. The one who winks with his eye causes sorrow, but a babbling fool will fall. The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. Hatred stirs up arguments, but love covers all sins. Wisdom is found in the lips of the one who has understanding, but a rod is for the back of the one with no sense. Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth of the fool is close to ruin. The rich man's wealth is his strong town. The ruin of the poor is their poverty. The work of the righteous is for life, and what the wicked bring in is for sin. The one who keeps teaching is in the way of life, but the one who turns down telling-off goes astray. The one who hides hatred with lying lips, and the one who spreads a bad word, is a fool. In plenty of words there's no want of sin, but the one who holds back his lips is wise. The tongue of the righteous is choice silver. The heart of the wicked is worth little. The lips of the righteous feed plenty, but fools die for want of wisdom. The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and he doesn't add sorrow with it. It's like sport to a fool to do wickedness, but a man of understanding has wisdom. What the wicked fears will come on him, but the wish of the righteous will be given. As the whirlwind goes past, so the wicked is gone. But the righteous is an everlasting foundation. Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, that's what the lazy man is to the ones who send him. The fear of the Lord makes days longer, but the years of the wicked will be shortened. The hope of the righteous will be gladness, but what the wicked look for will come to nothing. The way of the Lord is strength to the straight man, but ruin will come to the workers of wrongdoing. The righteous will never be shifted, but the wicked won't live on the earth. The mouth of the righteous brings out wisdom, but the twisted tongue will be cut out. The lips of the righteous know what's acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked speaks what's twisted.

The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth. The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom. The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom. The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted. As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation. As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him. The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
