Proverbs:10

* A wise son makes a father glad : but a foolish son is sorrow for his mother . * Treasures of wickedness profit nothing , but righteousness delivers from death . * Jehovah will not allow the righteous to hunger . He rejects the mischief of the wicked . * He becomes poor who deals with a lazy hand . The hand of the diligent makes rich . * He who gathers in summer is a wise son . He who sleeps at the harvest is a son who causes shame . * Blessings cover the head of the righteous . Violence covers the mouth of the wicked . * The memory of the righteous is blessed . The name of the wicked will waste away . * The wise in heart will accept the law but a babbling fool will fall . * He who walks with integrity walks safely . He who perverts his ways will be found out . * He who winks the eye causes trouble . A babbling fool will fall . * The mouth of a righteous man is a fountain of life . Aggression comes from the mouth of the wicked . * Hatred stirs up strife . Love covers all sins . * Wisdom is found on the lips of the understanding . A rod is for the back of him who lacks understanding . * Wise men preserve knowledge . The mouth of the foolish is near destruction . * The rich man 's wealth is his strength . The destruction of the poor is their poverty . * The labor of the righteous leads to life . The yield of the wicked is punishment . * He who regards instruction is in the way of life . He who refuses reproof goes astray . * Truly a fool hides hatred with lying lips , and speaks slander . * Sin does not hide from a multitude of words . The wise controls his lips . * The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver . The heart of the wicked has little worth . * The lips of the righteous feed many . Fools die for lack of understanding . * The blessing of Jehovah makes rich and he adds no grief to it . * It is like sport to a fool to do mischief . A man of understanding has wisdom . * The fear of the wicked will come upon him . The desire of the righteous will be granted . * The whirlwind passes and the wicked is no more . The righteous has an everlasting foundation . * As vinegar to the teeth , and as smoke to the eyes , so is the lazy man to those who sent him . * Respect for Jehovah prolongs life . The years of the wicked will be shortened . * The hope of the righteous is joy . The prospect for the wicked is bleak . * The way of Jehovah is a rock to the upright . The workers of iniquity will be destroyed . * The righteous will never be removed . The wicked will not inhabit the earth . * The mouth of the righteous flows with wisdom but the perverted tongue will be destroyed . * The lips of the righteous speak what is acceptable . The mouth of the wicked speaks perversion .
