Proverbs 10
1 The Proverbs of Solomon: A wise son, maketh a glad father, but, a foolish son, is the grief of his mother.
THE PARABLE OF SALOMON. A wise sonne maketh a glad father: but a foolish sonne is an heauines to his mother.
2 The treasures of lawlessness, do not profit, but, righteousness, delivereth from death.
The treasures of wickednesse profite nothing: but righteousnesse deliuereth from death.
3 Yahweh, suffereth not to famish, the soul of the righteous, but, the desire of the lawless, he thrusteth away.
The Lord will not famish the soule of the righteous: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.
4 He becometh poor, who dealeth with a slack hand, but, the hand of the diligent, maketh rich.
A slouthfull hand maketh poore: but the hand of the diligent maketh riche.
5 He that gathereth in summer, is a prudent son, he that sleepeth long in harvest, is a son causing shame.
He that gathereth in sommer, is the sonne of wisdome: but he that sleepeth in haruest, is the sonne of confusion.
6 Blessings, are for the head of the righteous man, but, the mouth of the lawless, covereth up wrong.
Blessings are vpon the head of the righteous: but iniquitie shall couer the mouth of the wicked.
7 The memory of the righteous, yieldeth blessing, but, the name of the lawless, dieth out.
The memoriall of the iust shalbe blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rotte.
8 The wise in heart, will accept commandments, but, he that is foolish with his lips, shall be thrust away.
The wise in heart will receiue commandements: but the foolish in talke shalbe beaten.
9 He that walketh uprightly, may walk securely, but, he that maketh crooked his ways, shall be found out.
He that walketh vprightly, walketh boldely: but he that peruerteth his wayes, shalbe knowen.
10 He that winketh with the eye, causeth sorrow, and, he that is foolish with his lips, shall be thrust aside.
He that winketh with the eye, worketh sorowe, and he yet is foolish in talke, shalbe beaten.
11 A well-spring of life, is the mouth of the righteous, but, the mouth of the lawless, covereth wrong.
The mouth of a righteous man is a welspring of life: but iniquitie couereth the mouth of the wicked.
12 Hatred, stirreth up strifes, but, over all transgressions, love throweth a covering.
Hatred stirreth vp contentions: but loue couereth all trespasses.
13 In the lips of the intelligent, is found wisdom, but, a rod, is for the back of him that lacketh sense.
In the lippes of him that hath vnderstanding wisdome is founde, and a rod shalbe for the backe of him that is destitute of wisedome.
14 Wise men, treasure up knowledge, but, the mouth of the foolish, is a terror near at hand.
Wise men lay vp knowledge: but ye mouth of the foole is a present destruction.
15 The substance of the rich, is his strong city, the terror of the poor, is their poverty.
The riche mans goodes are his strong citie: but the feare of the needie is their pouertie.
16 The labour of the righteous, [leadeth] to life, the increase of the lawless, to sin.
The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: but the reuenues of the wicked to sinne.
17 On the way to life, is he that heedeth correction, but, he that hateth reproof, is going astray.
He that regardeth instruction, is in the way of life: but he that refuseth correction, goeth out of the way.
18 He that concealeth hatred, hath false lips, and he that sendeth forth slander, the same, is a dullard.
He that dissembleth hatred with lying lips, and he that inuenteth slaunder, is a foole.
19 In the multitude of words, there wanteth not transgression, but, he that restraineth his lips, sheweth prudence.
In many wordes there cannot want iniquitie: but he that refrayneth his lippes, is wise.
20 Choice silver, is the tongue of the righteous, but, the sense of the lawless, is very small.
The tongue of the iust man is as fined siluer: but the heart of the wicked is litle worth.
21 The lips of the righteous, feed multitudes, but, the foolish, for lack of sense, shall die.
The lippes of the righteous doe feede many: but fooles shall die for want of wisedome.
22 The blessing of Yahweh, itself maketh rich, and he addeth no grievance therewith.
The blessing of the Lord, it maketh riche, and he doeth adde no sorowes with it.
23 It is, mere sport to a stupid man, to commit lewdness, but, wisdom, pertaineth to a man of understanding.
It is as a pastime to a foole to doe wickedly: but wisedome is vnderstanding to a man.
24 The dread of the lawless one, the same, shall overtake him, but, the desire of the righteous, shall he granted.
That which the wicked feareth, shall come vpon him: but God wil graunt the desire of the righteous.
25 Like the passing away of a tempest, so the lawless one is not, but, the righteous, [hath] an age-abiding foundation.
As the whirlewinde passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is as an euerlasting foundation.
26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so, is the sluggard, to them who send him.
As vineger is to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the slouthful to them that send him.
27 The reverence of Yahweh, addeth days, but, the years of the lawless, shall be shortened.
The feare of the Lord increaseth the dayes: but the yeeres of the wicked shalbe diminished.
28 The hope of the righteous, shall be gladness, but, the expectation of the lawless, shall vanish.
The patient abiding of the righteous shall be gladnesse: but the hope of the wicked shall perish.
29 A refuge for the blameless, is the path of Yahweh, but, destruction, [awaiteth] the workers of iniquity.
The way of the Lord is strength to the vpright man: but feare shall be for the workers of iniquitie.
30 The righteous, to times age-abiding, shall remain unshaken, but, the lawless, shall not inhabit the earth.
The righteous shall neuer be remooued: but the wicked shall not dwell in the land.
31 The mouth of the righteous, beareth the fruit of wisdom, but, a perverse tongue, shall be cut off.
The mouth of the iust shall be fruitfull in wisdome: but the tongue of the froward shall be cut out.
32 The lips of the righteous, know what is pleasing, but, the mouth of the lawless, [speaketh] perversities.
The lips of the righteous knowe what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh froward things.
