[1] The proverbs of Solomon.
A wise son makes a glad father;
but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.
[2] Treasures of wickedness profit nothing,
but righteousness delivers from death.
[3] Yahweh will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry,
but he thrusts away the desire of the wicked.
[4] He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand,
but the hand of the diligent brings wealth.
[5] He who gathers in summer is a wise son,
but he who sleeps during the harvest is a son who causes shame.
[6] Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
[7] The memory of the righteous is blessed,
but the name of the wicked will rot.
[8] The wise in heart accept commandments,
but a chattering fool will fall.
[9] He who walks blamelessly walks surely,
but he who perverts his ways will be found out.
[10] One who winks with the eye causes sorrow,
but a chattering fool will fall.
[11] The mouth of the righteous is a spring of life,
but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
[12] Hatred stirs up strife,
but love covers all wrongs.
[13] Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has discernment,
but a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding.
[14] Wise men lay up knowledge,
but the mouth of the foolish is near ruin.
[15] The rich man’s wealth is his strong city.
The destruction of the poor is their poverty.
[16] The labor of the righteous leads to life.
The increase of the wicked leads to sin.
[17] He is in the way of life who heeds correction,
but he who forsakes reproof leads others astray.
[18] He who hides hatred has lying lips.
He who utters a slander is a fool.
[19] In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience,
but he who restrains his lips does wisely.
[20] The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver.
The heart of the wicked is of little worth.
[21] The lips of the righteous feed many,
but the foolish die for lack of understanding.
[22] Yahweh’s blessing brings wealth,
and he adds no trouble to it.
[23] It is a fool’s pleasure to do wickedness,
but wisdom is a man of understanding’s pleasure.
[24] What the wicked fear will overtake them,
but the desire of the righteous will be granted.
[25] When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more;
but the righteous stand firm forever.
[26] As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes,
so is the sluggard to those who send him.
[27] The fear of Yahweh prolongs days,
but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
[28] The prospect of the righteous is joy,
but the hope of the wicked will perish.
[29] The way of Yahweh is a stronghold to the upright,
but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
[30] The righteous will never be removed,
but the wicked will not dwell in the land.
[31] The mouth of the righteous produces wisdom,
but the perverse tongue will be cut off.
[32] The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.
King James Version

Proverbs of Solomon

[1] The proverbs H4912 of Solomon. H8010
A wise H2450 son H1121 maketh a glad H8055 father: H1
But a foolish H3684 son H1121 is the heaviness H8424 of his mother. H517
[2] Treasures H214 of wickedness H7562 profit H3276 nothing:
But righteousness H6666 delivereth H5337 from death. H4194
[3] The Lord H3068 will H7456 not H3808 suffer H7456 the soul H5315 of the righteous H6662 to famish: H7456
But he casteth away H1920 the substance H1942 of the wicked. H7563§
[4] He becometh poor H7326 that dealeth H6213 with a slack H7423 hand: H3709
But the hand H3027 of the diligent H2742 maketh rich. H6238
[5] He that gathereth H103 in summer H7019 is a wise H7919 son: H1121
But he that sleepeth H7290 in harvest H7105 is a son H1121 that causeth shame. H954
[6] Blessings H1293 are upon the head H7218 of the just: H6662
But violence H2555 covereth H3680 the mouth H6310 of the wicked. H7563
[7] The memory H2143 of the just H6662 is blessed: H1293
But the name H8034 of the wicked H7563 shall rot. H7537
[8] The wise H2450 in heart H3820 will receive H3947 commandments: H4687
But a prating H8193 fool H191§ shall fall. H3832
[9] He that walketh H3212 uprightly H8537 walketh H1980 surely: H983
But he that perverteth H6140 his ways H1870 shall be known. H3045
[10] He that winketh H7169 with the eye H5869 causeth H5414 sorrow: H6094
But a prating H8193 fool H191 shall fall. H3832§
[11] The mouth H6310 of a righteous H6662 man is a well H4726 of life: H2416
But violence H2555 covereth H3680 the mouth H6310 of the wicked. H7563
[12] Hatred H8135 stirreth up H5782 strifes: H4090
But love H160 covereth H3680 all H3605 sins. H6588
[13] In the lips H8193 of him that hath understanding H995§ wisdom H2451 is found: H4672
But a rod H7626 is for the back H1460 of him that is void H2638 of understanding. H3820
[14] Wise H2450 men lay up H6845 knowledge: H1847
But the mouth H6310 of the foolish H191 is near H7138 destruction. H4288
[15] The rich man’s H6223 wealth H1952 is his strong H5797 city: H7151
The destruction H4288 of the poor H1800 is their poverty. H7389
[16] The labour H6468 of the righteous H6662 tendeth to life: H2416
The fruit H8393 of the wicked H7563 to sin. H2403
[17] He is in the way H734 of life H2416 that keepeth H8104 instruction: H4148
But he that refuseth H5800 reproof H8433 erreth. H8582§
[18] He that hideth H3680 hatred H8135 with lying H8267 lips, H8193
And he that uttereth H3318 a slander, H1681 is a fool. H3684
[19] In the multitude H7230 of words H1697 there wanteth H2308 not H3808 sin: H6588
But he that refraineth H2820 his lips H8193 is wise. H7919
[20] The tongue H3956 of the just H6662 is as choice H977 silver: H3701
The heart H3820 of the wicked H7563 is little worth. H4592
[21] The lips H8193 of the righteous H6662 feed H7462 many: H7227
But fools H191 die H4191 for want H2638 of wisdom. H3820§
[22] The blessing H1293 of the Lord, H3068 it maketh rich, H6238
And he addeth H3254 no sorrow H6089 with it.
[23] It is as sport H7814 to a fool H3684 to do H6213 mischief: H2154
But a man H376 of understanding H8394 hath wisdom. H2451
[24] The fear H4034 of the wicked, H7563 it shall come H935 upon him:
But the desire H8378 of the righteous H6662 shall be granted. H5414
[25] As the whirlwind H5492 passeth, H5674 so is the wicked H7563 no more:
But the righteous H6662 is an everlasting H5769 foundation. H3247
[26] As vinegar H2558 to the teeth, H8127 and as smoke H6227 to the eyes, H5869
So is the sluggard H6102 to them that send H7971 him.
[27] The fear H3374 of the Lord H3068 prolongeth H3254§ days: H3117
But the years H8141 of the wicked H7563 shall be shortened. H7114
[28] The hope H8431 of the righteous H6662 shall be gladness: H8057
But the expectation H8615 of the wicked H7563 shall perish. H6
[29] The way H1870 of the Lord H3068 is strength H4581 to the upright: H8537
But destruction H4288 shall be to the workers H6466 of iniquity. H205
[30] The righteous H6662 shall never H5769 be removed: H4131
But the wicked H7563 shall H7931 not H3808 inhabit H7931 the earth. H776
[31] The mouth H6310 of the just H6662 bringeth forth H5107 wisdom: H2451
But the froward H8419 tongue H3956 shall be cut out. H3772
[32] The lips H8193 of the righteous H6662 know H3045 what is acceptable: H7522
But the mouth H6310 of the wicked H7563 speaketh frowardness. H8419§
