Proverbs 10:1-12

¹The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish son is the grief of his mother.

²Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; but righteousness delivereth from death.

³The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; but He thrusteth away the desire of the wicked.

⁴He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand; but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

⁵A wise son gathereth in summer; but a son that doeth shamefully sleepeth in harvest.

⁶Blessings are upon the head of the righteous; but the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence.

⁷The memory of the righteous shall be for a blessing; but the name of the wicked shall rot.

⁸The wise in heart will receive commandments; but a prating fool shall fall.

⁹He that walketh uprightly walketh securely; but he that perverteth his ways shall be found out.

¹⁰He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; and a prating fool shall fall.

¹¹The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life; but the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence.

¹²Hatred stirreth up strifes; but love covereth all transgressions.
