< Proverbs 10 >

1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish son is the grief of his mother.
υἱὸς σοφὸς εὐφραίνει πατέρα υἱὸς δὲ ἄφρων λύπη τῇ μητρί
2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; but righteousness delivereth from death.
οὐκ ὠφελήσουσιν θησαυροὶ ἀνόμους δικαιοσύνη δὲ ῥύσεται ἐκ θανάτου
3 The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; but He thrusteth away the desire of the wicked.
οὐ λιμοκτονήσει κύριος ψυχὴν δικαίαν ζωὴν δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀνατρέψει
4 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand; but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
πενία ἄνδρα ταπεινοῖ χεῖρες δὲ ἀνδρείων πλουτίζουσιν υἱὸς πεπαιδευμένος σοφὸς ἔσται τῷ δὲ ἄφρονι διακόνῳ χρήσεται
5 A wise son gathereth in summer; but a son that doeth shamefully sleepeth in harvest.
διεσώθη ἀπὸ καύματος υἱὸς νοήμων ἀνεμόφθορος δὲ γίνεται ἐν ἀμήτῳ υἱὸς παράνομος
6 Blessings are upon the head of the righteous; but the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence.
εὐλογία κυρίου ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν δικαίου στόμα δὲ ἀσεβῶν καλύψει πένθος ἄωρον
7 The memory of the righteous shall be for a blessing; but the name of the wicked shall rot.
μνήμη δικαίων μετ’ ἐγκωμίων ὄνομα δὲ ἀσεβοῦς σβέννυται
8 The wise in heart will receive commandments; but a prating fool shall fall.
σοφὸς καρδίᾳ δέξεται ἐντολάς ὁ δὲ ἄστεγος χείλεσιν σκολιάζων ὑποσκελισθήσεται
9 He that walketh uprightly walketh securely; but he that perverteth his ways shall be found out.
ὃς πορεύεται ἁπλῶς πορεύεται πεποιθώς ὁ δὲ διαστρέφων τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ γνωσθήσεται
10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; and a prating fool shall fall.
ὁ ἐννεύων ὀφθαλμοῖς μετὰ δόλου συνάγει ἀνδράσι λύπας ὁ δὲ ἐλέγχων μετὰ παρρησίας εἰρηνοποιεῖ
11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life; but the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence.
πηγὴ ζωῆς ἐν χειρὶ δικαίου στόμα δὲ ἀσεβοῦς καλύψει ἀπώλεια
12 Hatred stirreth up strifes; but love covereth all transgressions.
μῖσος ἐγείρει νεῖκος πάντας δὲ τοὺς μὴ φιλονεικοῦντας καλύπτει φιλία
13 In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found; but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
ὃς ἐκ χειλέων προφέρει σοφίαν ῥάβδῳ τύπτει ἄνδρα ἀκάρδιον
14 Wise men lay up knowledge; but the mouth of the foolish is an imminent ruin.
σοφοὶ κρύψουσιν αἴσθησιν στόμα δὲ προπετοῦς ἐγγίζει συντριβῇ
15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city; the ruin of the poor is their poverty.
κτῆσις πλουσίων πόλις ὀχυρά συντριβὴ δὲ ἀσεβῶν πενία
16 The wages of the righteous is life; the increase of the wicked is sin.
ἔργα δικαίων ζωὴν ποιεῖ καρποὶ δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἁμαρτίας
17 He is in the way of life that heedeth instruction; but he that forsaketh reproof erreth.
ὁδοὺς δικαίας ζωῆς φυλάσσει παιδεία παιδεία δὲ ἀνεξέλεγκτος πλανᾶται
18 He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; and he that uttereth a slander is a fool.
καλύπτουσιν ἔχθραν χείλη δίκαια οἱ δὲ ἐκφέροντες λοιδορίας ἀφρονέστατοί εἰσιν
19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
ἐκ πολυλογίας οὐκ ἐκφεύξῃ ἁμαρτίαν φειδόμενος δὲ χειλέων νοήμων ἔσῃ
20 The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver; the heart of the wicked is little worth.
ἄργυρος πεπυρωμένος γλῶσσα δικαίου καρδία δὲ ἀσεβοῦς ἐκλείψει
21 The lips of the righteous feed many; but the foolish die for want of understanding.
χείλη δικαίων ἐπίσταται ὑψηλά οἱ δὲ ἄφρονες ἐν ἐνδείᾳ τελευτῶσιν
22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and toil addeth nothing thereto.
εὐλογία κυρίου ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν δικαίου αὕτη πλουτίζει καὶ οὐ μὴ προστεθῇ αὐτῇ λύπη ἐν καρδίᾳ
23 It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness, and so is wisdom to a man of discernment.
ἐν γέλωτι ἄφρων πράσσει κακά ἡ δὲ σοφία ἀνδρὶ τίκτει φρόνησιν
24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him; and the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
ἐν ἀπωλείᾳ ἀσεβὴς περιφέρεται ἐπιθυμία δὲ δικαίου δεκτή
25 When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is no more; but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
παραπορευομένης καταιγίδος ἀφανίζεται ἀσεβής δίκαιος δὲ ἐκκλίνας σῴζεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα
26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.
ὥσπερ ὄμφαξ ὀδοῦσι βλαβερὸν καὶ καπνὸς ὄμμασιν οὕτως παρανομία τοῖς χρωμένοις αὐτήν
27 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days; but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
φόβος κυρίου προστίθησιν ἡμέρας ἔτη δὲ ἀσεβῶν ὀλιγωθήσεται
28 The hope of the righteous is gladness; but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
ἐγχρονίζει δικαίοις εὐφροσύνη ἐλπὶς δὲ ἀσεβῶν ὄλλυται
29 The way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright, but ruin to the workers of iniquity.
ὀχύρωμα ὁσίου φόβος κυρίου συντριβὴ δὲ τοῖς ἐργαζομένοις κακά
30 The righteous shall never be moved; but the wicked shall not inhabit the land.
δίκαιος τὸν αἰῶνα οὐκ ἐνδώσει ἀσεβεῖς δὲ οὐκ οἰκήσουσιν γῆν
31 The mouth of the righteous buddeth with wisdom; but the froward tongue shall be cut off.
στόμα δικαίου ἀποστάζει σοφίαν γλῶσσα δὲ ἀδίκου ἐξολεῖται
32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable; but the mouth of the wicked is all frowardness.
χείλη ἀνδρῶν δικαίων ἀποστάζει χάριτας στόμα δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀποστρέφεται
