Proverbs 10:1-32 CSB

[1] Solomon's proverbs: A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son, heartache to his mother. [2] Ill-gotten gains do not profit anyone, but righteousness rescues from death. [3] The LORD will not let the righteous go hungry, but he denies the wicked what they crave. [4] Idle hands make one poor, but diligent hands bring riches. [5] The son who gathers during summer is prudent; the son who sleeps during harvest is disgraceful. [6] Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. [7] The remembrance of the righteous is a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot. [8] A wise heart accepts commands, but foolish lips will be destroyed. [9] The one who lives with integrity lives securely, but whoever perverts his ways will be found out. [10] A sly wink of the eye causes grief, and foolish lips will be destroyed. [11] The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. [12] Hatred stirs up conflicts, but love covers all offenses. [13] Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning, but a rod is for the back of the one who lacks sense. [14] The wise store up knowledge, but the mouth of the fool hastens destruction. [15] The wealth of the rich is his fortified city; the poverty of the poor is their destruction. [16] The reward of the righteous is life; the wages of the wicked is punishment. [17] The one who follows instruction is on the path to life, but the one who rejects correction goes astray. [18] The one who conceals hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool. [19] When there are many words, sin is unavoidable, but the one who controls his lips is prudent. [20] The tongue of the righteous is pure silver; the heart of the wicked is of little value. [21] The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of sense. [22] The LORD's blessing enriches, and he adds no painful effort to it. [23] As shameful conduct is pleasure for a fool, so wisdom is for a person of understanding. [24] What the wicked dreads will come to him, but what the righteous desire will be given to them. [25] When the whirlwind passes, the wicked are no more, but the righteous are secure forever. [26] Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, so the slacker is to the one who sends him on an errand. [27] The fear of the LORD prolongs life, but the years of the wicked are cut short. [28] The hope of the righteous is joy, but the expectation of the wicked will perish. [29] The way of the LORD is a stronghold for the honorable, but destruction awaits evildoers. [30] The righteous will never be shaken, but the wicked will not remain on the earth. [31] The mouth of the righteous produces wisdom, but a perverse tongue will be cut out. [32] The lips of the righteous know what is appropriate, but the mouth of the wicked, only what is perverse.
