101The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father;but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.+2Treasures of wickedness profit nothing,but righteousness delivers from death.+3Yahweh will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry,but he thrusts away the desire of the wicked.+4He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand,but the hand of the diligent brings wealth.+5He who gathers in summer is a wise son,but he who sleeps during the harvest is a son who causes shame.+6Blessings are on the head of the righteous,but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.+7The memory of the righteous is blessed,but the name of the wicked will rot.+8The wise in heart accept commandments,but a chattering fool will fall.+9He who walks blamelessly walks surely,but he who perverts his ways will be found out.+10One winking with the eye causes sorrow,but a chattering fool will fall.+11The mouth of the righteous is a spring of life,but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.+12Hatred stirs up strife,but love covers all wrongs.+13Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has discernment,but a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding.+14Wise men lay up knowledge,but the mouth of the foolish is near ruin.+15The rich man’s wealth is his strong city.The destruction of the poor is their poverty.+16The labor of the righteous leads to life.The increase of the wicked leads to sin.+17He is in the way of life who heeds correction,but he who forsakes reproof leads others astray.+18He who hides hatred has lying lips.He who utters a slander is a fool.+19In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience,but he who restrains his lips does wisely.+20The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver.The heart of the wicked is of little worth.+21The lips of the righteous feed many,but the foolish die for lack of understanding.+22Yahweh’s blessing brings wealth,and he adds no trouble to it.+23It is a fool’s pleasure to do wickedness,but wisdom is a man of understanding’s pleasure.+24What the wicked fear, will overtake them,but the desire of the righteous will be granted.+25When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more;but the righteous stand firm forever.+26As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes,so is the sluggard to those who send him.+27The fear of Yahweh prolongs days,but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.+28The prospect of the righteous is joy,but the hope of the wicked will perish.+29The way of Yahweh is a stronghold to the upright,but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.+30The righteous will never be removed,but the wicked will not dwell in the land.+31The mouth of the righteous produces wisdom,but the perverse tongue will be cut off.+32The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.+
