Proverbs 10:1-11
10:1 The proverbs of Shlomo:
A wise son is a joy to his father,
    but a foolish son is a grief to his mother.
2 No good comes from ill-gotten wealth,
    but righteousness rescues from death.
3 Adonai does not let the righteous go hungry,
    but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.
4 Idle hands bring poverty;
    diligent hands bring wealth.
5 A sensible person gathers in summer,
    but he who sleeps during harvest is an embarrassment.
6 Blessings are for the head of the righteous,
    but the speech of the wicked is a cover for violence.
7 The memory of the righteous will be for a blessing,
    but the reputation of the wicked will rot.
8 Wise-hearted people take orders,
    but a babbling fool will have trouble.
9 He who walks purely walks securely,
    but he who walks in crooked ways will be found out.
10 He who winks his eye [instead of rebuking] causes pain,
    yet a babbling fool will have trouble.
11 The speech of the righteous is a fountain of life,
    but the speech of the wicked is a cover for violence.
