Bible. Proverbs
20:009:018 But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her
guests are in the depths of hell.
20:010:001 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but
a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.
20:010:002 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness
delivereth from death.
20:010:003 The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish:
but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.
20:010:004 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand
of the diligent maketh rich.
20:010:005 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that
sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
20:010:006 Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth
the mouth of the wicked.
20:010:007 The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked
shall rot.
20:010:008 The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating
fool shall fall.
20:010:009 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that
perverteth his ways shall be known.
20:010:010 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating
fool shall fall.
20:010:011 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence
covereth the mouth of the wicked.
20:010:012 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
20:010:013 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.
20:010:014 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is
near destruction.
20:010:015 The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of
the poor is their poverty.
20:010:016 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the
wicked to sin.
20:010:017 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that
refuseth reproof erreth.
20:010:018 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a
slander, is a fool.
20:010:019 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that
refraineth his lips is wise.
20:010:020 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the
wicked is little worth.
20:010:021 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of
wisdom.
20:010:022 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no
sorrow with it.
20:010:023 It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of
understanding hath wisdom.
20:010:024 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire
of the righteous shall be granted.
20:010:025 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the
righteous is an everlasting foundation.
20:010:026 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the
sluggard to them that send him.
