¹ A wise son maketh the father glad: but a foolish son is the sorrow of his mother.	¹ The Proverbs of Solomon: A wise son makes his father glad, but a foolish son is a grief to his mother.
² Treasures of wickedness shall profit nothing: but justice shall deliver from death.	² Ill-gotten treasures profit nothing, but virtue saves from death.
³ The Lord will not afflict the soul of the just with famine, and he will disappoint the deceitful practices of the wicked.	³ The LORD permits not the just to hunger, but the craving of the wicked he thwarts.
⁴ The slothful hand hath wrought poverty: but the hand of the industrious getteth riches. He that trusteth to lies feedeth the winds: and the same runneth after birds that fly away.	⁴ The slack hand impoverishes, but the hand of the diligent enriches.
⁵ He that gathered in the harvest is a wise son: but he that snorteth in the summer, is the son of confusion.	⁵ A son who fills the granaries in summer is a credit; a son who slumbers during harvest, a disgrace.
⁶ The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the just: but iniquity covereth the mouth of the wicked.	⁶ Blessings are for the head of the just, but a rod for the back of the fool.
⁷ The memory of the just is with praises: and the name of the wicked shall rot.	⁷ The memory of the just will be blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot.
⁸ The wise of heart receiveth precepts: a fool is beaten with lips.	⁸ A wise man heeds commands, but a prating fool will be overthrown.

¹¹ The mouth of the just is a vein of life: and the mouth of the wicked covereth iniquity.	¹¹ A fountain of life is the mouth of the just, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
¹² Hatred stirreth up strifes: and charity covereth all sins.	¹² Hatred stirs up disputes, but love covers all offenses.
¹³ In the lips of the wise is wisdom found: and a rod on the back of him that wanteth sense.	¹³ On the lips of the intelligent is found wisdom, (but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence).
¹⁴ Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the fool is next to confusion.	¹⁴ Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool is imminent ruin.
¹⁵ The substance of a rich man is the city of his strength: the fear of the poor is their poverty.	¹⁵ The rich man's wealth is his strong city; the ruination of the lowly is their poverty.
¹⁶ The work of the just is unto life: but the fruit of the wicked, unto sin.	¹⁶ The just man's recompense leads to life, the gains of the wicked, to sin.
¹⁷ The way of life, to him that observeth correction: but he that forsaketh reproofs goeth astray.	¹⁷ A path to life is his who heeds admonition, but he who disregards reproof goes astray.
¹⁸ Lying lips hide hatred: he that uttereth reproach is foolish.	¹⁸ It is the lips of the liar that conceal hostility; but he who spreads accusations is a fool.
¹⁹ In the multitude of words there shall not want sin: but he that refraineth his lips is most wise.	¹⁹ Where words are many, sin is not wanting; but he who restrains his lips does well.
²⁰ The tongue of the just is as choice silver: but the heart of the wicked is nothing worth.	²⁰ Like choice silver is the just man's tongue; the heart of the wicked is of little worth.
²¹ The lips of the just teach many: but they that are ignorant, shall die in the want of understanding.	²¹ The just man's lips nourish many, but fools die for want of sense.
²² The blessing of the Lord maketh men rich: neither shall affliction be joined to them.	²² It is the LORD'S blessing that brings wealth, and no effort can substitute for it.
²³ A fool worketh mischief as it were for sport: but wisdom is prudence to a man.	²³ Crime is the entertainment of the fool; so is wisdom for the man of sense.
²⁴ That which the wicked feareth, shall come upon him: to the just their desire shall be given.	²⁴ What the wicked man fears will befall him, but the desire of the just will be granted.
²⁵ As a tempest that passeth, so the wicked shall be no more: but the just is as an everlasting foundation.	²⁵ When the tempest passes, the wicked man is no more; but the just man is established forever.
²⁶ As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that sent him.	²⁶ As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, is the sluggard to those who use him as a messenger.
²⁷ The fear of the Lord shall prolong days: and the years of the wicked shall be shortened.	²⁷ The fear of the LORD prolongs life, but the years of the wicked are brief.
²⁸ The expectation of the just is joy; but the hope of the wicked shall perish.	²⁸ The hope of the just brings them joy, but the expectation of the wicked comes to nought.
²⁹ The strength of the upright is the way of the Lord: and fear to them that work evil.	²⁹ The LORD is a stronghold to him who walks honestly, but to evildoers, their downfall.
