10:1 A wise son maketh the father glad: but a foolish son is the sorrow of his mother.

10:2 Treasures of wickedness shall profit nothing: but justice shall deliver from death.

10:3 The Lord will not afflict the soul of the just with famine, and he will disappoint the deceitful practices of the wicked.

10:4 The slothful hand hath wrought poverty: but the hand of the industrious getteth riches. He that trusteth to lies feedeth the winds: and the same runneth after birds that fly away.

10:5 He that gathered in the harvest is a wise son: but he that snorteth in the summer, is the son of confusion.

10:6 The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the just: but iniquity covereth the mouth of the wicked.

10:7 The memory of the just is with praises: and the name of the wicked shall rot.

10:8 The wise of heart receiveth precepts: a fool is beaten with lips.

10:9 He that walketh sincerely, walketh confidently: but he that perverteth his ways, shall be manifest.

10:10 He that winketh with the eye shall cause sorrow: and the foolish in lips shall be beaten.

10:11 The mouth of the just is a vein of life: and the mouth of the wicked covereth iniquity.

10:12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: and charity covereth all sins.

10:13 In the lips of the wise is wisdom found: and a rod on the back of him that wanteth sense.

10:14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the fool is next to confusion.

10:15 The substance of a rich man is the city of his strength: the fear of the poor is their poverty.

10:16 The work of the just is unto life: but the fruit of the wicked, unto sin.

10:17 The way of life, to him that observeth correction: but he that forsaketh reproofs goeth astray.

10:18 Lying lips hide hatred: he that uttereth reproach is foolish.

10:19 In the multitude of words there shall not want sin: but he that refraineth his lips is most wise.

10:20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: but the heart of the wicked is nothing worth.

10:21 The lips of the just teach many: but they that are ignorant, shall die in the want of understanding.

10:22 The blessing of the Lord maketh men rich: neither shall affliction be joined to them.

10:23 A fool worketh mischief as it were for sport: but wisdom is prudence to a man.

10:24 That which the wicked feareth, shall come upon him: to the just their desire shall be given.

10:25 As a tempest that passeth, so the wicked shall be no more: but the just is as an everlasting foundation.

10:26 As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that sent him.

10:27 The fear of the Lord shall prolong days: and the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

10:28 The expectation of the just is joy; but the hope of the wicked shall perish.

10:29 The strength of the upright is the way of the Lord: and fear to them that work evil.

10:30 The just shall never be moved: but the wicked shall not dwell on the earth.

10:31 The mouth of the just shall bring forth wisdom: the tongue of the perverse shall perish.

10:32 The lips of the just consider what is acceptable: and the mouth of the wicked uttereth perverse things.
