1The Proverbs <04912> of Solomon <08010>: A wise <02450> child <01121> makes <08055> a father <01> rejoice <08055>, but a foolish <03684> child <01121> is a grief <08424> to his mother <0517>.
2Treasures <0214> gained by wickedness <07562> do not <03808> profit <03276>, but righteousness <06666> delivers from mortal danger <04194>.
3The Lord <03068> satisfies <07456> <03808> the appetite <05315> of the righteous <06662>, but he thwarts <01920> the craving <01942> of the wicked <07563>.
4The one who is lazy <07423> <03709> becomes poor <07326>, but the one who works <03027> diligently <02742> becomes wealthy <06238>.
5The one who gathers <0103> crops in the summer <07019> is a wise <07919> son <01121>, but the one who sleeps <07290> during the harvest <07105> is a son <01121> who brings shame <0954> to himself.
6Blessings <01293> are on the head <07218> of the righteous <06662>, but the speech <06310> of the wicked <07563> conceals <03680> violence <02555>.
7The memory <02143> of the righteous <06662> is a blessing <01293>, but the reputation <08034> of the wicked <07563> will rot <07537>.
8The wise <02450> person <03820> accepts <03947> instructions <04687>, but the one who speaks <08193> foolishness <0191> will come to ruin <03832>.
9The one who conducts <01980> himself in integrity <08537> will live <01980> securely <0983>, but the one who behaves perversely <01870> <06140> will be found out <03045>.
10The one who winks <07169> his eye <05869> causes <05414> trouble <06094>, and the one who speaks <08193> foolishness <0191> will come to ruin <03832>.
11The teaching <06310> of the righteous <06662> is a fountain <04726> of life <02416>, but the speech <06310> of the wicked <07563> conceals <03680> violence <02555>.
12Hatred <08135> stirs up <05782> dissension <04090>, but <05921> love <0160> covers <03680> all <03605> transgressions <06588>.
13Wisdom <02451> is found <04672> in the words <08193> of the discerning <0995> person, but the one who lacks <02638> wisdom <03820> will be disciplined <01460> <07626>.
14Those who are wise <02450> store up <06845> knowledge <01847>, but foolish <0191> speech <06310> leads to imminent <07138> destruction <04288>.
15The wealth <01952> of a rich person <06223> is like a fortified <05797> city <07151>, but the poor <01800> are brought to ruin <04288> by their poverty <07389>.
16The reward <06468> which the righteous <06662> receive is life <02416>; the recompense <08393> which the wicked <07563> receive is judgment <02403>.
17The one who heeds <08104> instruction <04148> is on the way <0734> to life <02416>, but the one who rejects <05800> rebuke <08433> goes astray <08582>.
18The one who conceals <03680> hatred <08135> utters <08193> lies <08267>, and the one who spreads <03318> slander <01681> is certainly a fool <03684>.
19When words <01697> abound <07230>, transgression <06588> is inevitable <02308> <03808>, but the one who restrains <02820> his words <08193> is wise <07919>.
20What the righteous <06662> say <03956> is like the best <0977> silver <03701>, but what the wicked <07563> think <03820> is of little <04592> value.
21The teaching <08193> of the righteous <06662> feeds <07462> many <07227>, but fools <0191> die <04191> for lack <02638> of wisdom <03820>.
22The blessing <01293> from the Lord <03068> makes a person rich <06238>, and he adds no <03808> sorrow <06089> to it.
23Carrying out <06213> a wicked scheme <02154> is enjoyable <07814> to a fool <03684>, and so is wisdom <02451> for the one <0376> who has discernment <08394>.
24What the wicked <07563> fears <04034> will come <0935> on him <01931>; what the righteous <06662> desire <08378> will be granted <05414>.
25When the storm <05492> passes through <05674>, the wicked <07563> are swept away <0369>, but the righteous <06662> are an everlasting <05769> foundation <03247>.
26Like vinegar <02558> to the teeth <08127> and like smoke <06227> to the eyes <05869>, so <03651> is the sluggard <06102> to those who send <07971> him.
27Fearing <03374> the Lord <03068> prolongs <03254> life, but the life <03117> span <08141> of the wicked <07563> will be shortened <07114>.
28The hope <08431> of the righteous <06662> is joy <08057>, but the expectation <08615> of the wicked <07563> will remain unfulfilled <06>.
29The way <01870> of the Lord <03068> is like a stronghold <04581> for the upright <08537>, but it is destruction <04288> to evildoers <0205> <06466>.
30The righteous <06662> will never <01077> <05769> be moved <04131>, but the wicked <07563> will not <03808> inhabit <07931> the land <0776>.
31The speech <06310> of the righteous <06662> bears <05107> the fruit <05107> of wisdom <02451>, but the one who speaks <03956> perversion <08419> will be destroyed <03772>.
32The lips <08193> of the righteous <06662> know <03045> what is pleasing <07522>, but the speech <06310> of the wicked <07563> is perverse <08419>.
