Chapter 10
II.
THE MAJOR COLLECTION ATTRIBUTED TO SOLOMON[*a]
1
The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son is his father’s joy, a foolish son his mother’s grief.
2
Treasures wickedly come by give no benefit, but right conduct brings delivery from death.
3
Yahweh does not leave the virtuous man hungry, but he thwarts the greed of the wicked.
4
The slack hand brings poverty, but the diligent hand brings wealth.
5
Gathering in summer is the mark of the prudent, sleeping at harvest is the sign of the shameless.
6
The blessings of Yahweh are on the head of the virtuous man, premature mourning stops the mouths of the wicked.
7
The virtuous man is remembered with blessings, the wicked man’s name rots away.
8
The heart that is wise is obedient to instruction, the gabbling fool is heading for ruin.
9
He walks secure whose ways are honourable, but he who follows crooked ways is soon discovered.
10
A wink of the eye, and a man makes trouble, a bold rebuke, and a man makes peace.
11
The mouth of the virtuous man is a life-giving fountain, violence lurks in the mouth of the wicked.
12
Hatred provokes disputes, love covers over all offences.
13
On the lips of a discerning man is wisdom found, on the back of a fool, the stick.
14
Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool makes ruin imminent.
15
The rich man’s wealth is his stronghold, poverty is the poor man’s undoing.
16
The virtuous man’s wage affords him life, but destruction is all the wicked man earns.
17
The path of life is to abide by discipline, and he who ignores correction goes astray.
18
The lips of just men silence hatred, he who voices slander is a fool.
19
A flood of words is never without its fault, he who has his lips controlled is a prudent man.
20
The virtuous man’s tongue is purest silver, the heart of the wicked is of trumpery value.
21
The lips of the virtuous man nourish a multitude, but fools die in poverty.
22
The blessing of Yahweh is what brings riches, to this hard toil has nothing to add.
23
The joy of the fool lies in doing wrong, but the joy of the man of discernment in acquiring wisdom.
24
What the wicked man fears overtakes him, what the virtuous desires comes to him as a present.
25
When the storm is over, the wicked man is no more, but the virtuous stands firm for ever.
26
As vinegar to the teeth, smoke to the eyes, so the sluggard to the one who sends him.
27
The fear of Yahweh adds length to life, the years of the wicked will be cut short.
28
The hope of virtuous men is all joy, the expectations of the wicked are frustrated.
29
Yahweh is a stronghold for the man of honest life, for evildoers nothing but ruin.
30
The virtuous man will never be moved from his own place, but the land will offer no home for the wicked.
31
The mouth of the virtuous man utters wisdom, the deceitful tongue shall be torn out.
32
The lips of the virtuous man drip with kindness, the mouth of the wicked with deceit.
