Proverbs 10

KING JAMES BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.	1 A wise son maketh the father glad: but a foolish son is the sorrow of his mother.
2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.	2 Treasures of wickedness shall profit nothing: but justice shall deliver from death.
3 The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.	3 The Lord will not afflict the soul of the just with famine, and he will disappoint the deceitful practices of the wicked.
4 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.	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.
5 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.	5 He that gathered in the harvest is a wise son: but he that snorteth in the summer, is the son of confusion.
6 Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.	6 The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the just: but iniquity covereth the mouth of the wicked.
7 The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.	7 The memory of the just is with praises: and the name of the wicked shall rot.
8 The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.	8 The wise of heart receiveth precepts: a fool is beaten with lips.
9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.	9 He that walketh sincerely, walketh confidently: but he that perverteth his ways, shall be manifest.
10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.	10 He that winketh with the eye shall cause sorrow: and the foolish in lips shall be beaten.
11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.	11 The mouth of the just is a vein of life: and the mouth of the wicked covereth iniquity.
12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.	12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: and charity 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.	13 In the lips of the wise is wisdom found: and a rod on the back of him that wanteth sense.
14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.	14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the fool is next to confusion.
15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.	15 The substance of a rich man is the city of his strength: the fear of the poor is their poverty.
16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.	16 The work of the just is unto life: but the fruit of the wicked, unto sin.
17 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.	17 The way of life, to him that observeth correction: but he that forsaketh reproofs goeth astray.
18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.	18 Lying lips hide hatred: he that uttereth reproach is foolish.
19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.	19 In the multitude of words there shall not want sin: but he that refraineth his lips is most wise.
20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.	20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: but the heart of the wicked is nothing worth.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.	21 The lips of the just teach many: but they that are ignorant, shall die in the want of understanding.
22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.	22 The blessing of the Lord maketh men rich: neither shall affliction be joined to them.
23 It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.	23 A fool worketh mischief as it were for sport: but wisdom is prudence to a man.
24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.	24 That which the wicked feareth, shall come upon him: to the just their desire shall be given.
25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.	25 As a tempest that passeth, so the wicked shall be no more: but the just is as an everlasting foundation.
26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.	26 As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that sent him.

28 The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.	28 The expectation of the just is joy; but the hope 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.	29 The strength of the upright is the way of the Lord: and fear to them that work evil.
30 The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.	30 The just shall never be moved: but the wicked shall not dwell on the earth.
31 The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.	31 The mouth of the just shall bring forth wisdom: the tongue of the perverse shall perish.
32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.	32 The lips of the just consider what is acceptable: and the mouth of the wicked uttereth perverse things.
