| 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 | The LORD 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 will 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 void of 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 that 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 the LORD, 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 the LORD 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 the LORD 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. |
