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