* The Proverbs of Solomon . A wise son maketh a glad father , But a foolish son is the grief of his mother . * Treasures of wickedness do not profit ; But righteousness delivereth from death . * The LORD will not suffer the righteous to famish ; But he disappointeth the craving of the wicked . * He that worketh with a slack hand becometh poor ; But the hand of the diligent maketh rich . * He that gathereth in summer is a wise son ; But he that sleepeth in harvest is a son causing shame . * Blessings are upon the head of the just ; But the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence . * The memory of the righteous man shall be blessed ; But the name of the wicked shall rot . * He who is wise in heart receiveth precepts ; But the foolish talker falleth headlong . * He that walketh uprightly walketh securely ; But he that perverteth his ways shall be punished . * He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow ; And a foolish talker falleth headlong . * The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life ; But the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence . * Hatred stirreth up strife ; But love covereth all offences . * Upon the lips of a man of understanding wisdom is found ; But a rod is for the back of him that lacketh understanding . * Wise men treasure up knowledge ; But the mouth of the foolish is destruction close at hand . * The rich man ’s wealth is his strong city ; The destruction of the poor is their poverty . * The earnings of the righteous minister to life ; The revenues of the wicked , to sin . * He that keepeth instruction is in the path of life ; But he that refuseth reproof goeth astray . * He that hideth hatred hath lying lips ; And he that uttereth slander is a fool . * In the multitude of words there wanteth not offence ; But he who restraineth his lips is wise . * The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver ; The understanding of the wicked is of little worth . * The lips of the righteous feed many ; But fools die through want of wisdom . * It is the blessing of the LORD that maketh rich , And he addeth no sorrow with it .
