[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.
