* The proverbs of Solomon : A wise son makes a father rejoice , but the foolish son is his mother 's sorrow . * Treasures of wickedness profit nothing , but righteousness delivers from death . * Jehovah will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry , but He pushes away the desire of the wicked . * He who deals with a lazy palm becomes poor , but the hand of the hard worker makes him rich . * He who gathers in summer is a prudent son ; he who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame . * Blessings are on the head of the just , but violence covers the mouth of the wicked . * The memory of the just is blessed , but the name of the wicked shall rot . * The wise in heart accepts commands , but the foolish of lips shall be thrust away . * He who walks in integrity walks securely , but he who perverts his ways shall be found out . * He who winks the eye causes sorrow , but the foolish of lips shall be thrust away . * The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life , but violence covers the mouth of the wicked . * Hatred stirs up fights , but love covers all transgressions . * Wisdom is found in the lips of him who has understanding , but a rod is waiting for the back of him who lacks heart . * The wise store up knowledge , but the mouth of the foolish is near ruin . * The rich man 's wealth is his strong city ; the ruin of the poor is their poverty . * The labor of the righteous is for life ; the gain of the wicked is for sin . * He who heeds instruction is in the way of life , but he who refuses reproof is going astray . * He who hides hatred with lying lips , and he who sends out a slander , he is a fool . * In the abundance of words transgression does not cease , but one restraining his lips is prudent . * The tongue of the just is as choice silver ; the heart of the wicked is as a little . * The lips of the righteous feed many , but fools die for lack of heart . * The blessing of Jehovah , it makes rich , and he adds no pain with it . * To work out evil devices is as laughter to the foolish ; so wisdom is to a man of understanding . * That which the wicked fears shall come upon him , but the desire of the righteous is granted . * As the storm passes , so the wicked is not ; but the righteous is an everlasting foundation . * Like vinegar to the teeth , and like smoke to the eyes , so is the lazy one to those who send him . * The fear of Jehovah prolongs days , but the years of the wicked shall be cut short . * The expectation of the righteous is joyful , but the hope of the wicked shall perish . * The way of Jehovah is strength to the upright , but ruin is to workers of iniquity . * The righteous shall never be moved , and the wicked shall not dwell in the land . * The mouth of the just flourishes with wisdom , but the perverse tongue shall be cut off . * The lips of the righteous know what is pleasing , but the mouth of the wicked knows only perversities .
