Proverbs 10:9-21 in American Standard Version (1901)

9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely; But he that perverteth his ways shall be known.
10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; But a prating fool shall fall.
11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life; But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
12 Hatred stirreth up strifes; But love covereth all transgressions.
13 In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found; But a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
14 Wise men lay up knowledge; But the mouth of the foolish is a present destruction.
15 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city: The destruction of the poor is their poverty.
16 The labor of the righteous tendeth to life; The increase of the wicked, to sin.
17 He is in the way of life that heedeth correction; But he that forsaketh reproof erreth.
18 He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; And he that uttereth a slander is a fool.
19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.
20 The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver: The heart of the wicked is little worth.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many; But the foolish die for lack of understanding.

9 Honest people will be safe, but others (OR, God) will find out those who are dishonest.
10 Those who signal wihth their eyes that they are about to do something that is wrong cause trouble, but those who rebuke others truthfully cause them to be peaceful.
11 What righteous people say MTY is like a fountain that ◄gives life/enables people to live many years► MET, but what wicked people say MTY hides the fact that they intend to act violently.
12 When we hate others, it causes quarrels, but if we love others, we forgive them for the wrong things that they do.
13 Those who have good sense say MTY what is wise, but people who do not have good sense must be punished.
14 Wise people continue to learn all that they can, but when foolish people speak, they soon cause trouble.
15 The wealth that rich people have protects them like a city is protected by a strong wall around it MET, but people who are poor suffer much because they have no one to help them.
16 If you are righteous, your reward will be a good life, but all that sinful people gain is to sin more.
17 Those who pay attention when others try to ◄correct them/teach them what they are doing that is wrong► will live ◄happily/for many years►; but those who reject being rebuked will not find the road to life (OR, cause others to go astray).
18 Those who will not admit that they hate others are liars, and those who slander others are foolish.
19 When people talk a lot, that will lead them to sin a lot by what they say; if you are wise, you will refuse to say very much.
20 What righteous/good people say MTY is as valuable as pure silver MET; what wicked people think is worthless.

9 He who walks in integrity walks in safety, but the one who makes his ways crooked, he will be found out.
10 He who winks the eye causes grief, but a talkative fool will be thrown down.
11 The mouth of the righteous person is a water spring of life, but the mouth of the wicked covers up violence.
12 Hatred stirs up conflicts, but love covers over all offenses.
13 Wisdom is found on the lips of a discerning person, but a rod is for the back of the one who has no sense.
14 Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool brings destruction near.
15 The wealth of a rich man is his fortified city; the poverty of the poor is their destruction.
16 The wage of the righteous person leads to life; the profit of the wicked leads them to sin.
17 There is a path to life for the one who follows discipline, but the one who rejects correction is led astray.
18 Whoever conceals hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool.
19 When there are many words, transgression is not lacking, but he who is careful in what he says is wise.
20 The tongue of the righteous person is pure silver; there is little value in the heart of the wicked.
21 The lips of the righteous person nourish many, but fools die because of their lack of sense.

9 He that goeth simply, goeth trustily; but he that maketh shrewd his ways, shall be made open.
10 He that beckoneth with the eye, shall give sorrow; a fool shall be beaten with his own lips.
11 The vein of life is the mouth of a just or rightwise man; but the mouth of wicked men covereth wickedness.
12 Hatred raiseth up chidings; and charity covereth all sins.
13 Wisdom is found in the lips of a wise man; and a rod in the back of him that is needy of heart.
14 Wise men hide knowing; but the mouth of a fool is next to confusion.
15 The chattel or substance of a rich man is the city of his strength; the dread of poor men is the neediness of them.

17 The way of life is to him that keepeth chastising or discipline; but he that forsaketh blamings, erreth.
18 False lips hide hatred; he that bringeth forth despising is unwise.
19 Sin shall not fail in much speaking; but he that measureth his lips, is most prudent.
20 Chosen silver is the tongue of a just or rightwise man; the heart of wicked men is for nought.
21 The lips of a just or rightwise man teach full many men; but they that be unlearned shall die in neediness of heart.

Proverbs 10:9-21 in Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling (Enhanced)

9 He that goeth simply, goeth trustily; but he that maketh shrewd his ways, shall be made open. (He who goeth with honesty, or with integrity, goeth with security; but he who maketh his ways depraved, shall be exposed.)
10 He that beckoneth with the eye, shall give sorrow; a fool shall be beaten with (his own) lips.
11 The vein of life is the mouth of a just man; but the mouth of wicked men covereth wickedness. (The words of the righteous be a fountain of life; but wickedness covereth the mouths of the wicked.)
12 Hatred raiseth up chidings; and charity covereth all sins. (Hatred raiseth up arguments, or strife; but love covereth all sins.)
13 Wisdom is found in the lips of a wise man; and a rod in the back of him that is needy of heart. (Wisdom is found on the lips of the wise; and a rod on the back of him who is foolish.)
14 Wise men hide knowing (or The wise store up knowledge); but the mouth of a fool is next to confusion.
15 The chattel of a rich man is the city of his strength; the dread of poor men is the neediness of them. (The substance of a rich man is his strong city; the fear of the poor is their own neediness.)
16 The work of a just man is to life; but the fruit of a wicked man is to sin. (The work of a good person serveth unto life; but the fruit of the wicked is sin.)
17 The way of life is to him that keepeth chastising; but he that forsaketh blamings, erreth. (The way of life is for him who receiveth discipline; but he who forsaketh rebukes, erreth.)
18 False lips hide hatred; he that bringeth forth despising is unwise.
19 Sin shall not fail in much speaking; but he that measureth his lips, is most prudent. (Sin shall abound with much speaking; but he who ruleth his lips, is most prudent.)
20 Chosen silver is the tongue of a just man; the heart of wicked men is for nought. (Choice silver is like the tongue of a righteous person; but the hearts of the wicked be worth nothing.)
21 The lips of a just man teach full many men; but they that be unlearned shall die in neediness of heart. (The lips of the righteous teach a great many people; but they who be ignorant, shall die without any understanding.)

Proverbs 10:9-21 in Young's Literal Translation

9 Whoso is walking in integrity walketh confidently, And whoso is perverting his ways is known.
10 Whoso is winking the eye giveth grief, And a talkative fool kicketh.
11 A fountain of life is the mouth of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.
12 Hatred awaketh contentions, And over all transgressions love covereth.
13 In the lips of the intelligent is wisdom found, And a rod is for the back of him who is lacking understanding.
14 The wise lay up knowledge, and the mouth of a fool is near ruin.
15 The wealth of the rich is his strong city, The ruin of the poor is their poverty.
16 The wage of the righteous is for life, The increase of the wicked for sin.
17 A traveller to life is he who is keeping instruction, And whoso is forsaking rebuke is erring.
18 Whoso is covering hatred with lying lips, And whoso is bringing out an evil report is a fool.
19 In the abundance of words transgression ceaseth not, And whoso is restraining his lips is wise.
20 The tongue of the righteous is chosen silver, The heart of the wicked — as a little thing.
21 The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools for lack of heart die.
