* The proverbs of Solomon : A wise son makes a glad father , But a foolish son is the grief of his mother . * Treasures of wickedness profit nothing , But righteousness delivers from death . * The LORD will not allow the righteous soul to famish , But He casts away the desire of the wicked . * He who has a slack hand becomes poor , But the hand of the diligent makes rich . * He who gathers in summer is a wise son ; He who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame . * Blessings are on the head of the righteous , But violence covers the mouth of the wicked . * The memory of the righteous is blessed , But the name of the wicked will rot . * The wise in heart will receive commands , But a prating fool will fall . * He who walks with integrity walks securely , But he who perverts his ways will become known . * He who winks with the eye causes trouble , But a prating fool will fall . * The mouth of the righteous is a well of life , But violence covers the mouth of the wicked . * Hatred stirs up strife , But love covers all sins . * Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has understanding , But a rod is for the back of him who is devoid of understanding . * Wise people store 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 labor of the righteous leads to life , The wages of the wicked to sin . * He who keeps instruction is in the way of life , But he who refuses correction goes astray . * Whoever hides hatred has lying lips , And whoever spreads slander is a fool . * In the multitude of words sin is not lacking , But he who restrains his lips is wise . * The tongue of the righteous is choice silver ; The heart of the wicked is worth little . * The lips of the righteous feed many , But fools die for lack of wisdom . * The blessing of the LORD makes one rich , And He adds no sorrow with it .
