* (The parables of Solomon .) A wise son makes a glad father ; but a foolish son [is ] sadness unto his mother . * Treasures of wickedness profit nothing , but righteousness delivers from death . * The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish , but wickedness shall cast out the wicked . * He that deals [with ] a slack hand becomes poor , but the hand of the diligent makes rich . * He that gathers in summer [is ] a wise son , [but ] he that sleeps in harvest [is ] a son that causes shame . * Blessings [are ] upon the head of the just , but the mouth of the wicked covers violence . * The memory of the just [is ] blessed , but the name of the wicked shall stink . * The wise in heart will receive the commandments , but he who speaks foolishness shall fall . * He that walks in integrity walks securely , but he that perverts his ways shall be broken . * He that winks with the eye causes sorrow , and he that speaks foolishness shall fall . * The mouth of a righteous [man is ] a well of life , but the mouth of the wicked covers violence . * Hatred stirs up strifes , but love covers all sins . * In the lips of the prudent wisdom is found and [is ] a rod unto the back of him that is void of understanding . * Wise [men ] keep knowledge , but the mouth of the foolish [is ] near [unto ] calamity . * The rich man 's wealth [is ] his strong city ; the weakness of the poor [is ] their poverty . * The work of the righteous [is ] unto life , but the fruit of the wicked is for sin . * He [is in ] the way of life that gives heed to chastening , but he that refuses reproof errs . * He that hides hatred [has ] lying lips , and he that utters a slander , [is ] a fool . * In the multitude of words there [is ] no lack [of ] rebellion , but he that refrains his lips [is ] wise . * The tongue of the just [is as ] choice silver , but the understanding 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 is that which makes rich , and he adds no sorrow with it . * To make an abomination [is ] as sport to the fool , but wisdom is recreation to the man of intelligence . * The fear of the wicked , it shall come upon him , but [God ] shall grant the desire of the righteous . * When the whirlwind passes , the wicked is no [more ], but the righteous [is ] founded for ever . * As vinegar to the teeth and as smoke to the eyes , so [is ] the sluggard to those that send him . * The fear of the LORD shall prolong days , but the years of the wicked shall be shortened . * The hope of the righteous [is ] joy , but the hope of the wicked shall perish . * The way of the LORD [is ] strength to the perfect , but [it is ] terror to the workers of iniquity . * The righteous eternally shall never be removed , but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth . * The mouth of the just shall bring forth wisdom , but the perverse tongue shall be cut out . * The lips of the righteous shall know the will [of God ], but the mouth of the wicked speaks perversion .:
