Proverbs 10 (KJV)   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.
