[1] The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish son is the grief of his mother. [2] Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; but righteousness delivereth from death. [3] ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; but He thrusteth away the desire of the wicked. [4] He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand; but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. [5] A wise son gathereth in summer; but a son that doeth shamefully sleepeth in harvest. [6] Blessings are upon the head of the righteous; but the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence. [7] The memory of the righteous shall be for a blessing; but the name of the wicked shall rot. [8] The wise in heart wil receive commandments; but a prating fool shall fall. [9] He that walketh uprightly walketh securely; but he that perverteth his ways shall be found out. [10] He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; and a prating fool shall fall. [11] The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life; but the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence. [12] Hatred stirreth up strifes; but love covereth all transgressions. [13] In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found; but a rod is for the back of him that is v understanding. [14] Wise men lay up knowledge; but the mouth of the foolish is an imminent ruin. [15] The rich man's wealth is his strong city; the ruin of the poor is their poverty. [16] The wages of the righteous is life; the increase of the wicked is sin. [17] He is in the way of life that heedeth instruction; but he that forsaketh reproof erreth. [18] He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; and he that uttereth a slander is a fool. [19] In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; but he the refraineth his lips is wise. [20] The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver; the heart of the wicked is little worth. [21] The lips of the righteous feed many; but the foolish die for want of understanding. [22] The blessing of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, it maketh rich, and toil addeth nothing thereto. [23] It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness, and so is wisdom to a man of discernment. [24] The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him; and the desire of the righteous shall be granted. [25] When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is 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] The fear of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ prolongeth days; but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. [28] The hope of the righteous is gladness; but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. [29] The way of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ is a stronghold to the upright, but ruin to the workers of iniquity. [30] The righteous shall never be moved; but the wicked shall not inhabit the land. [31] The mouth of the righteous buddeth with wisdom; but the froward tongue shall be cut off. [32] The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable; but the mouth of the wicked is all frowardness.
