The proverbs
of Solomon.
A wise
son
maketh a glad
father:
but a foolish
son
is the heaviness
of his mother.
Treasures
of wickedness
profit
nothing: but righteousness
delivereth
from death.
The LORD
will not suffer
the soul
of the righteous
to famish:
but he casteth away
the substance
of the wicked.
He becometh poor
that dealeth
with a slack
hand:
but the hand
of the diligent
maketh rich.
He that gathereth
in summer
is a wise
son:
but he that sleepeth
in harvest
is a son
that causeth shame.
Blessings
are upon the head
of the just:
but violence
covereth
the mouth
of the wicked.
The memory
of the just
is blessed:
but the name
of the wicked
shall rot.
The wise
in heart
will receive
commandments:
but a prating
fool
shall fall.
He that walketh
uprightly
walketh
surely:
but he that perverteth
his ways
shall be known.
He that winketh
with the eye
causeth
sorrow:
but a prating
fool
shall fall.
The mouth
of a righteous
man is a well
of life:
but violence
covereth
the mouth
of the wicked.
Hatred
stirreth up
strifes:
but love
covereth
all sins.
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.
Wise
men lay up
knowledge:
but the mouth
of the foolish
is near
destruction.
The rich man's
wealth
is his strong
city:
the destruction
of the poor
is their poverty.
The labour
of the righteous
tendeth to life:
the fruit
of the wicked
to sin.
He is in the way
of life
that keepeth
instruction:
but he that refuseth
reproof
erreth.
He that hideth
hatred
with lying
lips,
and he that uttereth
a slander,
is a fool.
In the multitude
of words
there wanteth
not sin:
but he that refraineth
his lips
is wise.
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.
The righteous
shall never
be removed:
but the wicked
shall not inhabit
the earth.
The mouth
of the just
bringeth forth
wisdom:
but the froward
tongue
shall be cut out.
The lips
of the righteous
know
what is acceptable:
but the mouth
of the wicked
speaketh frowardness.
