Provérbios 10

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

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

3Jehovah will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; But he thrusteth away the desire of the wicked.

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

5He that gathereth in summer is a wise son; But he that sleepeth in harvest is a son __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Proverbs 10:5 Or, that doeth shamefully __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ that causeth shame.

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

7The memory of the righteous is blessed; But the name of the wicked shall rot.

8The wise in heart will receive commandments; a prating fool __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Proverbs 10:8 Or, shall be overthrown (or, laid low) __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ shall fall.

9He that walketh uprightly walketh surely; But he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

10He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; a prating fool __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Proverbs 10:10 Or, shall be overthrown (or, laid low) __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ shall fall.

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

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

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

14Wise men lay up knowledge; But the mouth of the foolish is a present destruction.

15The rich man’s wealth is his strong city: The destruction of the poor is their poverty.

16The labor of the righteous tendeth to life; The increase of the wicked, to sin.

17He is in the way of life that heedeth __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Proverbs 10:17 Or, instruction __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ correction; __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Proverbs 10:17 Or, causeth to err __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ erreth.

18He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; And he that uttereth a slander is a fool.

19In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; doeth wisely.

20The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver: The heart of the wicked is little worth.

21The lips of the righteous feed many; understanding.

22The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich; he addeth no sorrow therewith.

23It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness; And so is wisdom to a man of understanding.

24The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him; And the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

25__a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Proverbs 10:25 Or, As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is no more; But the righteous is an everlasting foundation.

26As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, So is the sluggard to them that send him.

27The fear of Jehovah prolongeth days; But the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

28The hope of the righteous shall be gladness; But the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

29The way of Jehovah is a stronghold to the upright; it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.

30The righteous shall never be removed; land.

31The mouth of the righteous bringeth forth wisdom; But the perverse tongue shall be cut off.

32The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable; speaketh perverseness.
