101The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father; But a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.+2Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; But righteousness delivereth from death.+3Jehovah will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; But he thrusteth away the desire of the wicked.+4He becometh poor that worketh with a slack hand; But the hand of the diligent maketh rich.+5He that gathereth in summer is a wise son; [But] he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.+6Blessings are upon the head of the righteous; But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.+7The memory of the righteous is blessed; But the name of the wicked shall rot.+8The wise in heart will receive commandments; But a prating fool shall fall.+9He that walketh uprightly walketh surely; But he that perverteth his ways shall be known.+10He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; But a prating fool shall fall.+11The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life; But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.+12Hatred stirreth up strifes; But love covereth all transgressions.+13In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found; But a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.+14Wise men lay up knowledge; But the mouth of the foolish is a present destruction.+15The rich man’s wealth is his strong city: The destruction of the poor is their poverty.+16The labor of the righteous [tendeth] to life; The increase of the wicked, to sin.+17He is in the way of life that heedeth correction; But he that forsaketh reproof erreth.+18He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; And he that uttereth a slander is a fool.+19In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.+20The tongue of the righteous is [as] choice silver: The heart of the wicked is little worth.+21The lips of the righteous feed many; But the foolish die for lack of understanding.+22The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich; And he addeth no sorrow therewith.+23It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness; And [so is] wisdom to a man of understanding.+24The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him; And the desire of the righteous shall be granted.+25When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is no more; But the righteous is an everlasting foundation.+26As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, So is the sluggard to them that send him.+27The fear of Jehovah prolongeth days; But the years of the wicked shall be shortened.+28The hope of the righteous [shall be] gladness; But the expectation of the wicked shall perish.+29The way of Jehovah is a stronghold to the upright; But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.+30The righteous shall never be removed; But the wicked shall not dwell in the land.+31The mouth of the righteous bringeth forth wisdom; But the perverse tongue shall be cut off.+32The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable; But the mouth of the wicked [speaketh] perverseness.+
