(1) The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son [is] the heaviness of his mother. (2) Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death. (3) The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked (4) He becometh poor that dealeth [with] a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. (5) He that gathereth in summer [is] a wise son: [but] he that sleepeth in harvest [is] a son that causeth shame. (6) Blessings [are] upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. (7) The memory of the just [is] blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot. (8) The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall (9) He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. (10) He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall (11) The mouth of a righteous [man is] a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. (12) Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. (13) 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 (14) Wise [men] lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish [is] near destruction. (15) The rich man’s wealth [is] his strong city: the destruction of the poor [is] their poverty. (16) The labour of the righteous [tendeth] to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin. (17) He [is in] the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth (18) He that hideth hatred [with] lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, [is] a fool. (19) In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips [is] wise. (20) The tongue of the just [is as] choice silver: the heart of the wicked [is] little worth. (21) The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom (22) The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. (23) [It is] as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom. (24) The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted. (25) As the whirlwind passeth , so [is] the wicked no [more:] but the righteous [is] an everlasting foundation. (26) As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes , so [is] the sluggard to them that send him. (27) The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened (28) The hope of the righteous [shall be] gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. (29) The way of the LORD [is] strength to the upright: but destruction [shall be] to the workers of iniquity. (30) The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth. (31) The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out. (32) The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked [speaketh] frowardness
