Proverbs 10
Wise Sayings Of Solomon

Proverbs Chapter 10 • Daily Reading by Pastor Chopper Ward


Proverbs 10
King James Version

1
The proverbs of Solomon.

A wise son maketh a glad father:
but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.​

2
Treasures of wickedness profit nothing:
but righteousness delivereth from death.​
3 The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish:
but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.​

4
He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand:
but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.​
5 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son:
but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.​

6
Blessings are upon the head of the just:
but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.​
7 The memory of the just is blessed:
but the name of the wicked shall rot.​

8
The wise in heart will receive commandments:
but a prating fool shall fall.​
9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely:
but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.​

10
He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow:
but a prating fool shall fall.​

11
The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life:
but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.​

12
Hatred stirreth up strifes:
but love covereth all sins.​

13
In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found:
but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.​

14
Wise men lay up knowledge:
but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.​

15
The rich man's wealth is his strong city:
the destruction of the poor is their poverty.​

16
The labour of the righteous tendeth to life:
the fruit of the wicked to sin.​

17
He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction:
but he that refuseth reproof erreth.​

18
He that hideth hatred with lying lips,
and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.​

19
In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin:
but he that refraineth his lips is wise.​
20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver:
the heart of the wicked is little worth.​
21 The lips of the righteous feed many:
but fools die for want of wisdom.​

22
The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich,
and he addeth no sorrow with it.​

23
It is as sport to a fool to do mischief:
but a man of understanding hath wisdom.​
24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him:
but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.​
25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more:
but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.​

26
As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes,
so is the sluggard to them that send him.​

27
The fear of the Lord prolongeth days:
but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.​
28 The hope of the righteous shall be gladness:
but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.​
29 The way of the Lord is strength to the upright:
but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.​

30
The righteous shall never be removed:
but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.​
31 The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom:
but the froward tongue shall be cut out.​
32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable:
but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.
