* The Proverbs of Solomon . A wise son maketh a glad father ; but a foolish son is the grief of his mother . * Treasures of wickedness profit nothing ; but righteousness delivereth from death . * Jehovah suffereth not the soul of the righteous [man ] to famish ; but he repelleth the craving of the wicked . * He cometh to want that dealeth with a slack hand ; but the hand of the diligent maketh rich . * He that gathereth in summer is a wise son ; he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame . * Blessings are upon the head of a righteous [man ]; but the mouth of the wicked covereth violence . * The memory of the righteous [man ] shall be blessed ; but the name of the wicked shall rot . * The wise in heart receiveth commandments ; but a prating fool shall fall . * He that walketh in integrity walketh securely ; but he that perverteth his ways shall be known . * He that winketh with the eye causeth grief , and a prating fool shall fall . * The mouth of a righteous [man ] is a fountain of life ; but the mouth of the wicked covereth violence . * Hatred stirreth up strifes ; but love covereth all transgressions . * In the lips of an intelligent [man ] wisdom is found ; but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding . * The wise lay up knowledge ; but the mouth of the fool is near destruction . * The rich man 's wealth is his strong city ; the destruction of the poor is their poverty . * The labour of a righteous [man ] [tendeth ] to life ; the revenue of a wicked [man ], to sin . * Keeping instruction is the path to life ; but he that forsaketh reproof goeth astray . * He that covereth hatred hath lying lips , and he that sendeth forth a slander is a fool . * In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression ; but he that restraineth his lips doeth wisely . * The tongue of the righteous [man ] is [as ] choice silver ; the heart of the wicked is little worth . * The lips of a righteous [man ] feed many ; but fools die for want of understanding . * The blessing of Jehovah , it maketh rich , and he addeth no sorrow to it .
