Previous chapter Index Next chapter
1 Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son rejoices his father, and a foolish son is a grief for his mother.

2 The unrighteous do not deliver the good, but the truth does not save them from death.
3 The Lord will not allow the hunger of the righteous soul to suffer hunger, but the acquisition of the wicked will throw it away.

4 A lazy hand makes the poor, but the hand of the diligent enriches.

5 Collecting during the summer is a reasonable son, while the sleeper is asleep during harvest time, the son is dissolute.

6th Blessings are on the head of the righteous, and the mouth of the lawless will block violence.

7th The memory of the righteous will be blessed, and the name of the wicked will be wretched.

8 The wise in heart accepts the commandments, but the stupid will stumble.

9 He who walks in integrity, he walks safely; But whosoever shall turn his ways shall be punished.

10 He who flashes his eyes, causes vexation, but a stupid man stumbles.

eleven The mouth of the righteous is the source of life, and the mouth of the lawless will block violence.

12 Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sins.

13 In the mouth of the wise is wisdom, but on the body of the fool is the rod.

14 The wise preserve knowledge, but the mouth of the fool is a near destruction.

15 The property of the rich is his strong city, the misfortune for the poor is their poverty.

16 The works of the righteous are to life, the success of the wicked is to sin.

17th Whoever keeps instruction is on the road to life; But rejecting reproof - wanders.

18 Who hides hate, his lips are deceitful; And who discovers slander, he is stupid.

19 With verbosity, one can not escape from sin, but the one holding back his mouth is intelligent.

20 Selective silver is the language of the righteous, but the heart of the wicked is nothing.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many, but the fools die from lack of intelligence.

22 The blessing of the Lord - it enriches and does not bring sorrow with you.

23 For a fool, a criminal act is, as it were, fun, but wisdom is inherent in a rational person.

24 What the wicked is afraid of, then will comprehend it, and the desire of the righteous will be fulfilled.
25 As a whirlwind sweeps, [so] there is no more wicked; But the righteous is on an eternal basis.

26th That vinegar is for the teeth and smoke for the eyes, then is lazy for those who send it.

27th The fear of the Lord adds days, but the years of the wicked will be shortened.
28 The expectation of the righteous is joy, but the hope of the wicked will perish.

29 The way of the Lord is a stronghold for the undefiled and fear for those who practice iniquity.
thirty The righteous will never be moved, the wicked will not live on earth.

31 The mouth of the righteous exudes wisdom, and the malicious tongue is cut off.
32 The lips of the righteous know the good, and the mouth of the wicked is corrupt.
