Proverbs 10:1-11

1. 1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

2. 2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.

3. 3 The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.

4. 4 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

5. 5 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

6. 6 Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

7. 7 The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.

8. 8 The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.

9. 9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

10. 10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.

11. 11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
