      | ¶ | The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son [is] the heaviness of his mother. | |
 | Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death. | ||
| The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked. | ||
| He becometh poor that dealeth [with] a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. | ||
| He that gathereth in summer [is] a wise son: [but] he that sleepeth in harvest [is] a son that causeth shame. | ||
 | Blessings [are] upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. | ||
| The memory of the just [is] blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot. | ||
| The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall. | ||
| He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. | ||
| He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall. | ||
| The mouth of a righteous [man is] a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. | ||
| Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. | ||
| In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod [is] for the back of him that is void of understanding. | ||
| Wise [men] lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish [is] near destruction. | ||
| The rich man's wealth [is] his strong city: the destruction of the poor [is] their poverty. | ||
| The labour of the righteous [tendeth] to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin. | ||
| He [is in] the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth. | ||
| ¶ | He that hideth hatred [with] lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, [is] a fool. | |
| In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips [is] wise. | ||
| The tongue of the just [is as] choice silver: the heart of the wicked [is] little worth. | ||
| The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom. | ||
| The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. | ||
| ¶ | [It is] as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom. | |
| The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted. | ||
| As the whirlwind passeth, so [is] the wicked no [more]: but the righteous [is] an everlasting foundation. | ||
| As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so [is] the sluggard to them that send him. | ||
| ¶ | The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. | |
| The hope of the righteous [shall be] gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. | ||
| The way of the LORD [is] strength to the upright: but destruction [shall be] to the workers of iniquity. | ||
| The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth. | ||
| The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out. | ||
| The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked [speaketh] frowardness. |
