Proverbs 10 — YLT

10Verse 1Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son causeth a father to rejoice, And a foolish son [is] an affliction to his mother.^{Verse 2}Treasures of wickedness profit not, And righteousness delivereth from death.^{Verse 3}Jehovah causeth not the soul of the righteous to hunger, And the desire of the wicked He thrusteth away.^{Verse 4}Poor [is] he who is working — a slothful hand, And the hand of the diligent maketh rich.^{Verse 5}Whoso is gathering in summer [is] a wise son, Whoso is sleeping in harvest [is] a son causing shame.^{Verse 6}Blessings [are] for the head of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.^{Verse 7}The remembrance of the righteous [is] for a blessing, And the name of the wicked doth rot.^{Verse 8}The wise in heart accepteth commands, And a talkative fool kicketh.^{Verse 9}Whoso is walking in integrity walketh confidently, And whoso is perverting his ways is known.^{Verse 10}Whoso is winking the eye giveth grief, And a talkative fool kicketh.^{Verse 11}A fountain of life [is] the mouth of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.^{Verse 12}Hatred awaketh contentions, And over all transgressions love covereth.^{Verse 13}In the lips of the intelligent is wisdom found, And a rod [is] for the back of him who is lacking understanding.^{Verse 14}The wise lay up knowledge, and the mouth of a fool [is] near ruin.^{Verse 15}The wealth of the rich [is] his strong city, The ruin of the poor [is] their poverty.^{Verse 16}The wage of the righteous [is] for life, The increase of the wicked for sin.^{Verse 17}A traveller to life [is] he who is keeping instruction, And whoso is forsaking rebuke is erring.^{Verse 18}Whoso is covering hatred with lying lips, And whoso is bringing out an evil report is a fool.^{Verse 19}In the abundance of words transgression ceaseth not, And whoso is restraining his lips [is] wise.^{Verse 20}The tongue of the righteous [is] chosen silver, The heart of the wicked — as a little thing.^{Verse 21}The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools for lack of heart die.^{Verse 22}The blessing of Jehovah — it maketh rich, And He addeth no grief with it.^{Verse 23}To execute inventions [is] as play to a fool, And wisdom to a man of understanding.^{Verse 24}The feared thing of the wicked it meeteth him, And the desire of the righteous is given.^{Verse 25}As the passing by of a hurricane, So the wicked is not, And the righteous is a foundation age-during.^{Verse 26}As vinegar to the teeth, And as smoke to the eyes, So [is] the slothful to those sending him.^{Verse 27}The fear of Jehovah addeth days, And the years of the wicked are shortened.^{Verse 28}The hope of the righteous [is] joyful, And the expectation of the wicked perisheth.^{Verse 29}The way of Jehovah [is] strength to the perfect, And ruin to workers of iniquity.^{Verse 30}The righteous to the age is not moved, And the wicked inhabit not the earth.^{Verse 31}The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And the tongue of frowardness is cut out.^{Verse 32}The lips of the righteous know a pleasing thing, And the mouth of the wicked perverseness!
