CHAP. X.
From this chapter to the five and twentieth, are
sundry observations of moral virtues, and
their contrary vices.
1 The proverbs of Solomon. noteA wise
son maketh a glad father: but a
foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.
2 noteTreasures of wickedness profit
nothing: but righteousness delivereth
from death.
3 noteThe Lord will not suffer the soul
of the righteous to famish: but he casteth
away note the substance of the wicked.
4 noteHe becometh poor that dealeth
with a slack hand: but the hand of the
diligent maketh rich.
5 He that gathereth in summer is a
wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest
is a son that causeth shame.
-- --
Before CHRIST, 1000.
6 Blessings are upon the head of the
just: but note violence covereth the mouth
of the wicked.
7 noteThe memory of the just is blessed:
but the name of the wicked shall perish.
8 The wise in heart will receive commandments:
but note a prating fool note shall
fall.
9 noteHe that walketh uprightly walketh
surely: but he that perverteth his ways
shall be known.
10 noteHe that winketh with the eye
causeth sorrow: but a prating fool note shall
fall.
11 noteThe mouth of a righteous man is
a well of life: but violence covereth the
mouth of the wicked.
12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but note love
covereth all sins.
13 In the lips of him that hath understanding
wisdom is found: but a rod is
for the back of him that is void of note understanding.
14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but
the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
15 noteThe rich man's wealth is his strong
city: the destruction of the poor is their
poverty.
16 The labor of the righteous tendeth
to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
17 He is in the way of life that keepeth
instruction: but he that refuseth reproof
note erreth.
18 He that hideth hatred with lying
lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a
fool.
19 In the multitude of words there
wanteth not sin: but he that restraineth
his lips is wise.
20 The tongue of the just is as choice
silver: the heart of the wicked is little
worth.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many:
but fools die for want note of wisdom.
22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh
rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
23 noteIt is as sport to a fool to do mischief:
but a man of understanding hath
wisdom.
24 The fear of the wicked, it shall
come upon him: but the desire of the
righteous shall be granted.
25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the
wicked no more: but the righteous is an
everlasting foundation.
26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as
smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to
them that send him.
27 noteThe fear of the Lord note prolongeth
days: but the years of the wicked shall
be shortened.
28 The hope of the righteous shall be
gladness: but the note expectation of the
wicked shall perish.
29 The way of the Lord is strength to
the upright: but destruction shall be to
the workers of iniquity.
30 noteThe righteous shall never be removed:
but the wicked shall not inhabit
the earth.
31 The mouth of the just bringeth
forth wisdom: but the froward tongue
shall be cut out.
32 The lips of the righteous know
what is acceptable: but the mouth of the
wicked speaketh note frowardness.
