1  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 it. 

 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.
