3. Solomon's Proverbs
10:1-22:16
a. The Wise Son
10:1-32:1
1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son [is] the heaviness of his mother.
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.
9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.
11 The mouth of a righteous [man is] a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
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.
15 The rich man’s wealth [is] his strong city: the destruction of the poor [is] their poverty.
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.
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.
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.
