[1]A WISE son makes his father glad, but a foolish son brings shame to his mother[2]Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; but righteousness delivers from death.[3]The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; but he casts away the substance of the wicked[4]Poverty humbles a man; but the hands of diligent men make rich[5]He who works in summer is a wise man; but he who sleeps in harvest is a son that causes shame[6]Blessings are upon the head of the righteous; but iniquity covers the mouth of the wicked[7]The memory of the just is a blessing; but the heir of the wicked shall be extinct[8]The wise in heart will receive commandments; but one whose lips are full of folly shall be caught[9]He who walks uprightly walks in hope; but he who perverts his ways shall be known[10]He who winks with his eyes deceitfully causes sorrow; but he who reproves openly makes peace[11]The mouth of a righteous man is a fountain of life; but the mouth of the wicked is covered with iniquity[12]Hatred stirs up strife; shame shall cover all the wicked[13]He who brings forth wisdom out of his lips shall beat with a rod him that lacks understanding[14]Wise men conceal knowledge; but a hasty mouth is near destruction[15]The rich men's wealth is their strong cities; the destruction of the poor is their poverty[16]The labor of the righteous tends to life; the harvest of the wicked to sin[17]The true way of life brings discipline; but he who hates reproof is a fool[18]The lips of the wicked are full of deceits, and he who utters a curse is a fool[19]The wicked cannot be delivered by a multitude of words; but he who refrains his lips is wise[20]The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver; the heart of the wicked is full of bitterness.[21]The lips of the righteous are full of mercy; but the fools die for want of wisdom[22]The blessings of the LORD bring riches, and there shall be no sorrow in them[23]It is sport to a fool to do mischief; but a man of understanding has wisdom[24]The wicked shall be dragged to ruin; but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.[25]As the whirlwind passes suddenly, so wicked men shall perish and be no more; but the righteous are an everlasting foundation[26]As unripe grapes are hurtful to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so does wickedness hurt those who indulge in it[27]Reverence for the LORD prolongs life; but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.[28]The hope of the righteous shall be gladness; but the expectation of the wicked shall perish[29]The way of the LORD is strength to the upright; but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.[30]The righteous shall never be removed; but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth[31]The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom; but a perverse tongue shall be silenced.[32]The lips of the righteous know what is good; but the mouth of the wicked speaks perverse things
