Proverbs Chapter 10 Vs 1-22

1The Proverbs of Solomon:

A wise son gives his father joy,

but a foolish son is a grief to his mother.^* a

2Ill-gotten treasures profit nothing,

but justice saves from death.^* b

3The LORD does not let the just go hungry,

but the craving of the wicked he thwarts.^*

4The slack hand impoverishes,

but the busy hand brings riches.^c

5A son who gathers in summer is a credit;

a son who slumbers during harvest, a disgrace.

6Blessings are for the head of the just;

but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.^*

7The memory of the just serves as blessing,

but the name of the wicked will rot.^*

8A wise heart accepts commands,

but a babbling fool will be overthrown.^*

9Whoever walks honestly walks securely,

but one whose ways are crooked will fare badly.

10One who winks at a fault causes trouble,

but one who frankly reproves promotes peace.

11The mouth of the just is a fountain of life,

but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

12Hatred stirs up disputes,

^d but love covers all offenses.^*

13On the lips of the intelligent is found wisdom,

but a rod for the back of one without sense.^*

14The wise store up knowledge,

but the mouth of a fool is imminent ruin.

15The wealth of the rich is their strong city;

the ruin of the poor is their poverty.^*

16The labor of the just leads to life,

the gains of the wicked, to futility.^* e

17Whoever follows instruction is in the path to life,

but whoever disregards reproof goes astray.^f

18Whoever conceals hatred has lying lips,

and whoever spreads slander is a fool.

19Where words are many, sin is not wanting;

but those who restrain their lips do well.^g

20Choice silver is the tongue of the just;

the heart of the wicked is of little worth.

21The lips of the just nourish many,

but fools die for want of sense.^*

22It is the LORD's blessing that brings wealth,^h

and no effort can substitute for it.^*
