Proverbs Chapter 10

1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a 
foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth 
from death.

3 The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he 
casteth away the substance of the wicked.

4 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the 
diligent maketh rich.

5 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in 
harvest is a son that causeth shame.

6 Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the 
mouth of the wicked.

7 The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.

8 The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall 
fall.

9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his 
ways shall be known.

10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall 
fall.

11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth 
the mouth of the wicked.

12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love 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.

14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near 
destruction.

15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor 
is their poverty.

16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked 
to sin.

17 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that 
refuseth reproof erreth.

18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a 
slander, is a fool.

19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that 
refraineth his lips is wise.

20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked 
is little worth.

21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.

22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow 
with it.

23 It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding 
hath wisdom.

24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the 
righteous shall be granted.

25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous 
is an everlasting foundation.

26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard 
to them that send him.

27 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked 
shall be shortened.

28 The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation 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.

30 The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not 
inhabit the earth.

31 The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue 
shall be cut out.

32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of 
the wicked speaketh frowardness.

Proverbs Chapter 11

1 A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his 
delight.

2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of 
transgressors shall destroy them.

4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth 
from death.

5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked 
shall fall by his own wickedness.

6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors 
shall be taken in their own naughtiness.

7 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of 
unjust men perisheth.

8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in 
his stead.

9 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through 
knowledge shall the just be delivered.

10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when 
the wicked perish, there is shouting.

11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is 
overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

12 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of 
understanding holdeth his peace.

13 A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit 
concealeth the matter.

14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of 
counsellors there is safety.

15 He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that 
hateth suretiship is sure.

16 A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches.

17 The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel 
troubleth his own flesh.

18 The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth 
righteousness shall be a sure reward.

19 As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth 
it to his own death.

20 They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but 
such as are upright in their way are his delight.

21 Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the 
seed of the righteous shall be delivered.

22 As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is 
without discretion.

23 The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the 
wicked is wrath.

24 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that 
withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.

25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be 
watered also himself.

26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing 
shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh 
mischief, it shall come unto him.

28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall 
flourish as a branch.

29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool 
shall be servant to the wise of heart.

30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth 
souls is wise.

31 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more 
the wicked and the sinner.

Proverbs Chapter 12

1 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof 
is brutish.

2 A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices 
will he condemn.

3 A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the 
righteous shall not be moved.

4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh 
ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

5 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the 
wicked are deceit.

6 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of 
the upright shall deliver them.

7 The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous 
shall stand.

8 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a 
perverse heart shall be despised.

9 He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that 
honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.

10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender 
mercies of the wicked are cruel.

11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that 
followeth vain persons is void of understanding.

12 The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the 
righteous yieldeth fruit.

13 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just 
shall come out of trouble.

14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the 
recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.

15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth 
unto counsel is wise.

16 A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.

17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false 
witness deceit.

18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue 
of the wise is health.

19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is 
but for a moment.

20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the 
counsellors of peace is joy.

21 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be 
filled with mischief.

22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are 
his delight.

23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools 
proclaimeth foolishness.

24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be 
under tribute.

25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh 
it glad.

26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of 
the wicked seduceth them.

27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the 
substance of a diligent man is precious.

28 In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there 
is no death.
