Young's Literal1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son [is] the heaviness of his mother. 2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death. 3 The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked. 4 He becometh poor that dealeth [with] a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. 5 He that gathereth in summer [is] a wise son: [but] he that sleepeth in harvest [is] a son that causeth shame. 6 Blessings [are] upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. 7 The memory of the just [is] blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot. 8 The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall. 9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. 10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall. 11 The mouth of a righteous [man is] a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. 12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. 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. 14 Wise [men] lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish [is] near destruction. 15 The rich man’s wealth [is] his strong city: the destruction of the poor [is] their poverty. 16 The labour of the righteous [tendeth] to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin. 17 He [is in] the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth. 18 He that hideth hatred [with] lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, [is] a fool. 19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips [is] wise. 20 The tongue of the just [is as] choice silver: the heart of the wicked [is] little worth. 21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom. 22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. 23 [It is] as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom. 24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted. 25 As the whirlwind passeth, so [is] the wicked 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 the LORD prolongeth days: 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 just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out. 32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked [speaketh] frowardness. King James Version1 Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son causeth a father to rejoice, And a foolish son [is] an affliction to his mother. 2 Treasures of wickedness profit not, And righteousness delivereth from death. 3 Jehovah causeth not the soul of the righteous to hunger, And the desire of the wicked He thrusteth away. 4 Poor [is] he who is working -- a slothful hand, And the hand of the diligent maketh rich. 5 Whoso is gathering in summer [is] a wise son, Whoso is sleeping in harvest [is] a son causing shame. 6 Blessings [are] for the head of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence. 7 The remembrance of the righteous [is] for a blessing, And the name of the wicked doth rot. 8 The wise in heart accepteth commands, And a talkative fool kicketh. 9 Whoso is walking in integrity walketh confidently, And whoso is perverting his ways is known. 10 Whoso is winking the eye giveth grief, And a talkative fool kicketh. 11 A fountain of life [is] the mouth of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence. 12 Hatred awaketh contentions, And over all transgressions love covereth. 13 In the lips of the intelligent is wisdom found, And a rod [is] for the back of him who is lacking understanding. 14 The wise lay up knowledge, and the mouth of a fool [is] near ruin. 15 The wealth of the rich [is] his strong city, The ruin of the poor [is] their poverty. 16 The wage of the righteous [is] for life, The increase of the wicked for sin. 17 A traveller to life [is] he who is keeping instruction, And whoso is forsaking rebuke is erring. 18 Whoso is covering hatred with lying lips, And whoso is bringing out an evil report is a fool. 19 In the abundance of words transgression ceaseth not, And whoso is restraining his lips [is] wise. 20 The tongue of the righteous [is] chosen silver, The heart of the wicked -- as a little thing. 21 The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools for lack of heart die. 22 The blessing of Jehovah -- it maketh rich, And He addeth no grief with it. 23 To execute inventions [is] as play to a fool, And wisdom to a man of understanding. 24 The feared thing of the wicked it meeteth him, And the desire of the righteous is given. 25 As the passing by of a hurricane, So the wicked is not, And the righteous is a foundation age-during. 26 As vinegar to the teeth, And as smoke to the eyes, So [is] the slothful to those sending him. 27 The fear of Jehovah addeth days, And the years of the wicked are shortened. 28 The hope of the righteous [is] joyful, And the expectation of the wicked perisheth. 29 The way of Jehovah [is] strength to the perfect, And ruin to workers of iniquity. 30 The righteous to the age is not moved, And the wicked inhabit not the earth. 31 The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And the tongue of frowardness is cut out. 32 The lips of the righteous know a pleasing thing, And the mouth of the wicked perverseness! |
