Contrast of the Righteous and the Wicked
1 The proverbs H4912 of Solomon H8010.
A wise H2450 son H1121 makes H8055 a father H1 glad H8055,
But a foolish H3684 son H1121 is a grief H8424 to his mother H517.
2 [fn]Ill-gotten H7562 gains H214 do not benefit H3276,
But righteousness H6666 rescues H5337 from death H4194.
3 The LORD H3068 will not allow the [fn]righteous H6662 to hunger H7456,
But He will [fn]reject H1920 the craving H1942 of the wicked H7563.
4 Poor H7326 is one who works H6213 with [fn]a lazy H7423 hand H3709,
But the hand H3027 of the diligent H2742 makes H6238 rich H6238.
5 He who gathers H103 in H103 summer H7019 is a son H1121 who acts H7919 wisely H7919,
But he who sleeps H7290 in harvest H7105 is a son H1121 who acts H954 shamefully H954.
6 Blessings H1293 are on the head H7218 of the righteous H6662,
But the mouth H6310 of the wicked H7563 conceals H3680 violence H2555.
7 The mentioning H2143 of the righteous H6662 is a blessing H1293,
But the name H8034 of the wicked H7563 will rot H7537.
8 The wise H2450 of heart H3820 will receive H3947 commands H4687,
But [fn]a babbling H8193 fool H191 will come to ruin H3832.
9 One who walks H1980 in integrity H8537 walks H1980 securely H983,
But one who perverts H6140 his ways H1870 will be found H3045 out.
10 He who winks H7169 the eye H5869 causes H5414 trouble H6094,
And [fn]a babbling H8193 fool H191 will come to ruin H3832.
11 The mouth H6310 of the righteous H6662 is a fountain H4726 of life H2416,
But the mouth H6310 of the wicked H7563 conceals H3680 violence H2555.
12 Hatred H8135 stirs H5782 up H5782 strife H4090,
But love H160 covers H3680 all H3605 offenses H6588.
13 On the lips H8193 of the discerning H995, wisdom H2451 is found H4672,
But a rod H7626 is for the back H1460 of him who H2638 has H2638 no H2638 [fn]sense H3820.
14 Wise H2450 people H2450 store H6845 up knowledge H1847,
But with the mouth H6310 of the foolish H191, ruin H4288 is at H7138 hand H7138.
15 The rich H6223 person’s H6223 wealth H1952 is his [fn]fortress H7151 H5797,
The ruin H4288 of the poor H1800 is their poverty H7389.
16 The [fn]wages H6468 of the righteous H6662 is life H2416,
The income H8393 of the wicked H7563, punishment H2403.
17 One who is on the path H734 of life H2416 follows H8104 instruction H4148,
But one who ignores H5800 a rebuke H8433 goes H8582 astray H8582.
18 One who conceals H3680 hatred H8135 has lying H8267 lips H8193,
And one who spreads H3318 slander H1681 is a fool H3684.
19 When there are many H7230 words H1697, wrongdoing H6588 is unavoidable H2308 H3808,
But one who restrains H2820 his lips H8193 is wise H7919.
20 The tongue H3956 of the righteous H6662 is like choice H977 silver H3701,
The heart H3820 of the wicked H7563 is worth little H4592.
21 The lips H8193 of the righteous H6662 feed H7462 many H7227,
But fools H191 die H4191 for lack H2638 of [fn]understanding H3820.
22 It is the blessing H1293 of the LORD H3068 that makes H6238 rich H6238,
And He adds H3254 no H3808 sorrow H6089 to it.
23 Doing H6213 wickedness H2154 is like sport H7814 to a fool H3684,
And so is wisdom H2451 to a person H376 of understanding H8394.
24 What H4034 the wicked H7563 fears H4034 will come H935 upon him,
But the desire H8378 of the righteous H6662 will be granted H5414.
25 When the whirlwind H5492 passes H5674, the wicked H7563 is no H369 more H369,
But the righteous H6662 has an everlasting H5769 foundation H3247.
26 Like vinegar H2558 to the teeth H8127 and smoke H6227 to the eyes H5869,
So H3651 is the [fn]lazy H6102 one H6102 to those who send H7971 him.
27 The fear H3374 of the LORD H3068 prolongs H3254 [fn]life H3117,
But the years H8141 of the wicked H7563 will be shortened H7114.
28 The hope H8431 of the righteous H6662 is gladness H8057,
But the expectation H8615 of the wicked H7563 perishes H6.
29 The way H1870 of the LORD H3068 is a stronghold H4581 for the upright H8537,
But ruin H4288 to the workers H6466 of injustice H205.
30 The righteous H6662 will never H5769 H1077 be shaken H4131,
But the wicked H7563 will not live H7931 in H7931 the land H776.
31 The mouth H6310 of the righteous H6662 flows H5107 with wisdom H2451,
But the perverted H8419 tongue H3956 will be cut H3772 out.
32 The lips H8193 of the righteous H6662 know H3045 what H7522 is H7522 acceptable H7522,
But the mouth H6310 of the wicked H7563, what H8419 is H8419 perverted H8419.
