[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]𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 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 wil 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 v 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 the 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 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, 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 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 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 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 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.
