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 .
