Proverbs 10 (WEBP)

[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.

Proverbs 10 (BYZ)

[1] υιος σοφος ευφραινει πατερα υιος δε αφρων λυπη τη μητρι
[2] ουκ ωφελησουσιν θησαυροι ανομους δικαιοσυνη δε ρυσεται εκ θανατου
[3] ου λιμοκτονησει κυριος ψυχην δικαιαν ζωην δε ασεβων ανατρεψει
[4] πενια ανδρα ταπεινοι χειρες δε ανδρειων πλουτιζουσιν (10:4Α) υιος πεπαιδευμενος σοφος εσται τω δε αφρονι διακονω χρησεται
[5] διεσωθη απο καυματος υιος νοημων ανεμοφθορος δε γινεται εν αμητω υιος παρανομος
[6] ευλογια κυριου επι κεφαλην δικαιου στομα δε ασεβων καλυψει πενθος αωρον
[7] μνημη δικαιων μετ εγκωμιων ονομα δε ασεβους σβεννυται
[8] σοφος καρδια δεξεται εντολας ο δε αστεγος χειλεσιν σκολιαζων υποσκελισθησεται
[9] ος πορευεται απλως πορευεται πεποιθως ο δε διαστρεφων τας οδους αυτου γνωσθησεται
[10] ο εννευων οφθαλμοις μετα δολου συναγει ανδρασι λυπας ο δε ελεγχων μετα παρρησιας ειρηνοποιει
[11] πηγη ζωης εν χειρι δικαιου στομα δε ασεβους καλυψει απωλεια
[12] μισος εγειρει νεικος παντας δε τους μη φιλονεικουντας καλυπτει φιλια
[13] ος εκ χειλεων προφερει σοφιαν ραβδω τυπτει ανδρα ακαρδιον
[14] σοφοι κρυψουσιν αισθησιν στομα δε προπετους εγγιζει συντριβη
[15] κτησις πλουσιων πολις οχυρα συντριβη δε ασεβων πενια
[16] εργα δικαιων ζωην ποιει καρποι δε ασεβων αμαρτιας
[17] οδους δικαιας ζωης φυλασσει παιδεια παιδεια δε ανεξελεγκτος πλαναται
[18] καλυπτουσιν εχθραν χειλη δικαια οι δε εκφεροντες λοιδοριας αφρονεστατοι εισιν
[19] εκ πολυλογιας ουκ εκφευξη αμαρτιαν φειδομενος δε χειλεων νοημων εση
[20] αργυρος πεπυρωμενος γλωσσα δικαιου καρδια δε ασεβους εκλειψει
[21] χειλη δικαιων επισταται υψηλα οι δε αφρονες εν ενδεια τελευτωσιν
[22] ευλογια κυριου επι κεφαλην δικαιου αυτη πλουτιζει και ου μη προστεθη αυτη λυπη εν καρδια
[23] εν γελωτι αφρων πρασσει κακα η δε σοφια ανδρι τικτει φρονησιν
[24] εν απωλεια ασεβης περιφερεται επιθυμια δε δικαιου δεκτη
[25] παραπορευομενης καταιγιδος αφανιζεται ασεβης δικαιος δε εκκλινας σωζεται εις τον αιωνα
[26] ωσπερ ομφαξ οδουσι βλαβερον και καπνος ομμασιν ουτως παρανομια τοις χρωμενοις αυτην
[27] φοβος κυριου προστιθησιν ημερας ετη δε ασεβων ολιγωθησεται
[28] εγχρονιζει δικαιοις ευφροσυνη ελπις δε ασεβων ολλυται
[29] οχυρωμα οσιου φοβος κυριου συντριβη δε τοις εργαζομενοις κακα
[30] δικαιος τον αιωνα ουκ ενδωσει ασεβεις δε ουκ οικησουσιν γην
[31] στομα δικαιου αποσταζει σοφιαν γλωσσα δε αδικου εξολειται
[32] χειλη ανδρων δικαιων αποσταζει χαριτας στομα δε ασεβων αποστρεφεται
