Proverbs 10

¹The proverbs of Solomon.

²Treasures of wickedness profit nothing;

³Jehovah will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish;

⁴He becometh poor that worketh with a slack hand;

⁵He that gathereth in summer is a wise son;

⁶Blessings are upon the head of the righteous;

⁷The memory of the righteous is blessed;

⁸The wise in heart will receive commandments;

⁹He that walketh uprightly walketh surely;

¹⁰He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow;

¹¹The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life;

¹²Hatred stirreth up strifes;

¹³In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found;

¹⁴Wise men lay up knowledge;

¹⁵The rich man’s wealth is his strong city:

¹⁶The labor of the righteous tendeth to life;

¹⁷He is in the way of life that heedeth correction;

¹⁸He that hideth hatred is of lying lips;

¹⁹In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression;

²⁰The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver:

²¹The lips of the righteous feed many;

²²The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich;

²³It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness;

²⁴The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him;

²⁵When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is no more;

²⁶As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes,

²⁷The fear of Jehovah prolongeth days;

²⁸The hope of the righteous shall be gladness;

²⁹The way of Jehovah is a stronghold to the upright;

³⁰The righteous shall never be removed;

³¹The mouth of the righteous bringeth forth wisdom;

³²The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable;
