Proverbs 10:9-32

10:9

He that walketh
<03212> (8799)

uprightly
<08537>

walketh
<01980> (8802)

surely
<0983>_:

but he that perverteth
<06140> (8764)

his ways
<01870>

shall be known
<03045> (8735)_.

10:10

He that winketh
<07169> (8802)

with the eye
<05869>

causeth
<05414> (8799)

sorrow
<06094>_:

but a prating
<08193>

fool
<0191>

shall fall
<03832> (8735)_.

{fall: Heb. be beaten}

10:11

The mouth
<06310>

of a righteous
<06662>

[man is] a well
<04726>

of life
<02416>_:

but violence
<02555>

covereth
<03680> (8762)

the mouth
<06310>

of the wicked
<07563>_.

10:12

Hatred
<08135>

stirreth up
<05782> (8787)

strifes
<04090>_:

but love
<0160>

covereth
<03680> (8762)

all sins
<06588>_.

10:13

In the lips
<08193>

of him that hath understanding
<0995> (8737)

wisdom
<02451>

is found
<04672> (8735)_:

but a rod
<07626>

[is] for the back
<01460>

of him that is void
<02638>

of understanding
<03820>_.

{of understanding: Heb. of heart}

10:14

Wise
<02450>

[men] lay up
<06845> (8799)

knowledge
<01847>_:

but the mouth
<06310>

of the foolish
<0191>

[is] near
<07138>

destruction
<04288>_.

10:15

The rich man's
<06223>

wealth
<01952>

[is] his strong
<05797>

city
<07151>_:

the destruction
<04288>

of the poor
<01800>

[is] their poverty
<07389>_.

10:16

The labour
<06468>

of the righteous
<06662>

[tendeth] to life
<02416>_:

the fruit
<08393>

of the wicked
<07563>

to sin
<02403>_.

10:17

He [is in] the way
<0734>

of life
<02416>

that keepeth
<08104> (8802)

instruction
<04148>_:

but he that refuseth
<05800> (8802)

reproof
<08433>

erreth
<08582> (8688)_.

{erreth: or, causeth to err}

10:18

He that hideth
<03680> (8764)

hatred
<08135>

[with] lying
<08267>

lips
<08193>_,

and he that uttereth
<03318> (8688)

a slander
<01681>_,

[is] a fool
<03684>_.

10:19

In the multitude
<07230>

of words
<01697>

there wanteth
<02308> (8799)

not sin
<06588>_:

but he that refraineth
<02820> (8802)

his lips
<08193>

[is] wise
<07919> (8688)_.

10:20

The tongue
<03956>

of the just
<06662>

[is as] choice
<0977> (8737)

silver
<03701>_:

the heart
<03820>

of the wicked
<07563>

[is] little worth
<04592>_.

10:21

The lips
<08193>

of the righteous
<06662>

feed
<07462> (8799)

many
<07227>_:

but fools
<0191>

die
<04191> (8799)

for want
<02638>

of wisdom
<03820>_.

{of wisdom: Heb. of heart}

10:22

The blessing
<01293>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

it maketh rich
<06238> (8686)_,

and he addeth
<03254> (8686)

no sorrow
<06089>

with it.

10:23

[It is] as sport
<07814>

to a fool
<03684>

to do
<06213> (8800)

mischief
<02154>_:

but a man
<0376>

of understanding
<08394>

hath wisdom
<02451>_.

10:24

The fear
<04034>

of the wicked
<07563>_,

it shall come
<0935> (8799)

upon him: but the desire
<08378>

of the righteous
<06662>

shall be granted
<05414> (8799)_.

10:25

As the whirlwind
<05492>

passeth
<05674> (8800)_,

so [is] the wicked
<07563>

no [more]: but the righteous
<06662>

[is] an everlasting
<05769>

foundation
<03247>_.

10:26

As vinegar
<02558>

to the teeth
<08127>_,

and as smoke
<06227>

to the eyes
<05869>_,

so [is] the sluggard
<06102>

to them that send
<07971> (8802)

him.

10:27

The fear
<03374>

of the LORD
<03068>

prolongeth
<03254> (8686)

days
<03117>_:

but the years
<08141>

of the wicked
<07563>

shall be shortened
<07114> (8799)_.

{prolongeth: Heb. addeth}

10:28

The hope
<08431>

of the righteous
<06662>

[shall be] gladness
<08057>_:

but the expectation
<08615>

of the wicked
<07563>

shall perish
<06> (8799)_.

10:29

The way
<01870>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] strength
<04581>

to the upright
<08537>_:

but destruction
<04288>

[shall be] to the workers
<06466> (8802)

of iniquity
<0205>_.

10:30

The righteous
<06662>

shall never
<05769>

be removed
<04131> (8735)_:

but the wicked
<07563>

shall not inhabit
<07931> (8799)

the earth
<0776>_.

10:31

The mouth
<06310>

of the just
<06662>

bringeth forth
<05107> (8799)

wisdom
<02451>_:

but the froward
<08419>

tongue
<03956>

shall be cut out
<03772> (8735)_.

10:32

The lips
<08193>

of the righteous
<06662>

know
<03045> (8799)

what is acceptable
<07522>_:

but the mouth
<06310>

of the wicked
<07563>

[speaketh] frowardness
<08419>_.

{frowardness: Heb. frowardnesses}
