Proverbs 10:2-13

1. 2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.

2. 3 The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.

3. 4 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

4. 5 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

5. 6 Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

6. 7 The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.

7. 8 The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.

8. 9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

9. 10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.

10. 11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

11. 12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.

12. 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 understanding.
