Proverbs 10

The proverbs of Solomon.

Treasures of wickedness profit nothing;

Jehovah will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish;

He becometh poor that worketh with a slack hand;

He that gathereth in summer is a wise son;

Blessings are upon the head of the righteous;

The memory of the righteous is blessed;

The wise in heart will receive commandments;

He that walketh uprightly walketh surely;

He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow;

The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life;

Hatred stirreth up strifes;

In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found;

Wise men lay up knowledge;

The rich man’s wealth is his strong city:

The labor of the righteous tendeth to life;

He is in the way of life that heedeth correction;

He that hideth hatred is of lying lips;

In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression;

The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver:

The lips of the righteous feed many;

The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich;

It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness;

The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him;

When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is no more;

As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes,

The fear of Jehovah prolongeth days;

The hope of the righteous shall be gladness;

The way of Jehovah is a stronghold to the upright;

The righteous shall never be removed;

The mouth of the righteous bringeth forth wisdom;

The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable;
