Proverbs 10 (New International Version)

Proverbs 10

Proverbs of Solomon
1 The proverbs of Solomon:

A wise son brings joy to his father,

but a foolish son grief to his mother.

2 Ill-gotten
treasures are of no value,
but
righteousness delivers from death.

3 The LORD does not
let the righteous go hungry
but he
thwarts the craving of the wicked.

4 Lazy hands make a
man poor,
but diligent hands bring
wealth.

5 He who gathers
crops in summer is a wise son,
but he
who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.

6 Blessings crown
the head of the righteous,
but violence
overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.

7 The memory of the
righteous will be a blessing,
but the
name of the wicked will rot.

8 The wise in heart
accept commands,
but a chattering fool
comes to ruin.

9 The man of
integrity walks securely,
but he who
takes crooked paths will be found out.

10 He who winks
maliciously causes grief,
and a
chattering fool comes to ruin.

11 The mouth of
the righteous is a fountain of life,

but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.

12 Hatred stirs up
dissension,
but love covers over all
wrongs.

13 Wisdom is found
on the lips of the discerning,
but a
rod is for the back of him who lacks judgment.

14 Wise men store
up knowledge,
but the mouth of a fool
invites ruin.

15 The wealth of
the rich is their fortified city,
but
poverty is the ruin of the poor.

16 The wages of
the righteous bring them life,
but the
income of the wicked brings them punishment.

17 He who heeds
discipline shows the way to life,
but
whoever ignores correction leads others astray.

18 He who conceals
his hatred has lying lips,
and whoever
spreads slander is a fool.

19 When words are
many, sin is not absent,
but he who
holds his tongue is wise.

20 The tongue of
the righteous is choice silver,
but the
heart of the wicked is of little value.

21 The lips of the
righteous nourish many,
but fools die
for lack of judgment.

22 The blessing of
the LORD brings wealth,
and he adds no
trouble to it.

23 A fool finds
pleasure in evil conduct,
but a man of
understanding delights in wisdom.

24 What the wicked
dreads will overtake him;
what the
righteous desire will be granted.

25 When the storm
has swept by, the wicked are gone,
but
the righteous stand firm forever.

26 As vinegar to
the teeth and smoke to the eyes,
so is
a sluggard to those who send him.

27 The fear of the
LORD adds length to life,
but the years
of the wicked are cut short.

28 The prospect of
the righteous is joy,
but the hopes of
the wicked come to nothing.

29 The way of the
LORD is a refuge for the righteous,
but
it is the ruin of those who do evil.

30 The righteous
will never be uprooted,
but the wicked
will not remain in the land.

31 The mouth of
the righteous brings forth wisdom,
but
a perverse tongue will be cut out.

32 The lips of the
righteous know what is fitting,
but the
mouth of the wicked only what is perverse.

Proverbs
10:6 Or but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence ; also in
verse 11
