PROVERBS
10.29
- 9He that walketh uprightly walketh securely;
- But he that perverteth his ways shall be found out.
- 10He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow;
- And a prating fool shall fall.
- 11The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life;
- But the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence.
- 12Hatred stirreth up strifes;
- But love covereth all transgressions.
- 13In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found;
- But a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
- 14Wise men lay up knowledge;
- But the mouth of the foolish is an imminent ruin.
- 15The rich man's wealth is his strong city;
- The ruin of the poor is their poverty.
- 16The wages of the righteous is life;
- The increase of the wicked is sin.
- 17He is in the way of life that heedeth instruction;
- But he that forsaketh reproof erreth.
- 18He that hideth hatred is of lying lips;
- And he that uttereth a slander is a fool.
- 19In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression;
- But he that refraineth his lips is wise.
- 20The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver;
- The heart of the wicked is little worth.
- 21The lips of the righteous feed many;
- But the foolish die for want of understanding.
- 22The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich,
- And toil addeth nothing thereto.
- 23It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness,
- And so is wisdom to a man of discernment.
- 24The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him;
- And the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
- 25When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is no more;
- But the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
- 26As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes,
- So is the sluggard to them that send him.
- 27The fear of the Lord prolongeth days;
- But the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
- 28The hope of the righteous is gladness;
- But the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
- 29The way of the Lord is a stronghold to the upright,
- But ruin to the workers of iniquity.
