Context
The First Collection of Solomonic Proverbs
10:1 The Proverbs of Solomon: A wise child makes a father rejoice, but a foolish child is a grief to his mother. 10:2 Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit, but righteousness delivers from mortal danger. 10:3 The Lord satisfies the appetite of the righteous, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. 10:4 The one who is lazy becomes poor, but the one who works diligently becomes wealthy. 10:5 The one who gathers crops in the summer is a wise son, but the one who sleeps during the harvest is a son who brings shame to himself. 10:6 Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but the speech of the wicked conceals violence. 10:7 The memory of the righteous is a blessing, but the reputation of the wicked will rot. 10:8 The wise person accepts instructions, but the one who speaks foolishness will come to ruin. 10:9 The one who conducts himself in integrity will live securely, but the one who behaves perversely will be found out. 10:10 The one who winks his eye causes trouble, and the one who speaks foolishness will come to ruin. 10:11 The teaching of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the speech of the wicked conceals violence. 10:12 Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers all transgressions. 10:13 Wisdom is found in the words of the discerning person, but the one who lacks wisdom will be disciplined. 10:14 Those who are wise store up knowledge, but foolish speech leads to imminent destruction. 10:15 The wealth of a rich person is like a fortified city, but the poor are brought to ruin by their poverty. 10:16 The reward which the righteous receive is life; the recompense which the wicked receive is judgment. 10:17 The one who heeds instruction is on the way to life, but the one who rejects rebuke goes astray. 10:18 The one who conceals hatred utters lies, and the one who spreads slander is certainly a fool. 10:19 When words abound, transgression is inevitable, but the one who restrains his words is wise. 10:20 What the righteous say is like the best silver, but what the wicked think is of little value. 10:21 The teaching of the righteous feeds many, but fools die for lack of wisdom.
