Proverbs 10

but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.

but righteousness delivers from death.

but he thrusts away the desire of the wicked.

but the hand of the diligent brings wealth.

but he who sleeps during the harvest is a son who causes shame.

but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

but the name of the wicked will rot.

but a chattering fool will fall.

but he who perverts his ways will be found out.

but a chattering fool will fall.

but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

but love covers all wrongs.

but a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding.

but the mouth of the foolish is near ruin.

The destruction of the poor is their poverty.

The increase of the wicked leads to sin.

but he who forsakes reproof leads others astray.

He who utters a slander is a fool.

but he who restrains his lips does wisely.

The heart of the wicked is of little worth.

but the foolish die for lack of understanding.

and he adds no trouble to it.

but wisdom is a man of understanding’s pleasure.

but the desire of the righteous will be granted.

but the righteous stand firm forever.

so is the sluggard to those who send him.

but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

but the hope of the wicked will perish.

but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.

but the wicked will not dwell in the land.

but the perverse tongue will be cut off.

but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.
