Contrast of the Righteous and the Wicked

1 The ¹proverbs of Solomon. ²A wise son makes a father glad, But ³a foolish son is a grief to his mother. 2 ^a⁴Ill-gotten gains do not profit, But righteousness delivers from death. 3 The LORD ⁵will not allow the ^brighteous to hunger, But He ⁶will ^creject the craving of the wicked. 4 Poor is he who works with a negligent hand, But the ⁷hand of the diligent makes rich. 5 He who gathers in summer is a son who acts wisely, But he who sleeps in harvest is a son who acts shamefully. 6 ⁸Blessings are on the head of the righteous, But ⁹the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. 7 The ¹⁰memory of the righteous is blessed, But ¹¹the name of the wicked will rot. 8 The ¹²wise of heart will receive commands, But ^da babbling fool will be ^eruined. 9 He ¹³who walks in integrity walks securely, But ¹⁴he who perverts his ways will be found out. 10 He ¹⁵who winks the eye causes trouble, And ^f¹⁶a babbling fool will be ^gruined. 11 The ¹⁷mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, But ¹⁸the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. 12 Hatred stirs up strife, But ¹⁹love covers all transgressions. 13 On ²⁰the lips of the discerning, wisdom is found, But ²¹a rod is for the back of him who lacks ^hunderstanding. 14 Wise men ²²store up knowledge, But with ²³the mouth of the foolish, ruin is at hand. 15 The ²⁴rich man's wealth is his ⁱfortress , The ²⁵ruin of the poor is their poverty. 16 The ^j²⁶wages of the righteous is life, The income of the wicked, punishment. 17 He ²⁷is on the path of life who heeds instruction, But he who ignores reproof goes astray. 18 He ²⁸who conceals hatred has lying lips, And he who spreads slander is a fool. 19 When there are ²⁹many words, transgression is unavoidable , But ³⁰he who restrains his lips is wise. 20 The tongue of the righteous is as ³¹choice silver, The heart of the wicked is worth little. 21 The ³²lips of the righteous feed many, But fools ³³die for lack of ^kunderstanding. 22 It is the ³⁴blessing of the LORD that makes rich, And He adds no sorrow to it. 23 Doing wickedness is like ³⁵sport to a fool, And so is wisdom to a man of understanding. 24 What ³⁶the wicked fears will come upon him, But the ³⁷desire of the righteous will be granted. 25 When the ³⁸whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more, But the ³⁹righteous has an everlasting foundation. 26 Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, So is the ⁴⁰lazy one to those who send him. 27 The ⁴¹fear of the LORD prolongs ^llife, But the ⁴²years of the wicked will be shortened. 28 The ⁴³hope of the righteous is gladness, But the ⁴⁴expectation of the wicked perishes. 29 The ⁴⁵way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright, But ⁴⁶ruin to the workers of iniquity. 30 The ⁴⁷righteous will never be shaken, But ⁴⁸the wicked will not dwell in the land. 31 The ⁴⁹mouth of the righteous flows with wisdom, But the ⁵⁰perverted tongue will be cut out. 32 The lips of the righteous bring forth ⁵¹what is acceptable, But the ⁵²mouth of the wicked what is perverted.
