10:3  The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish, but wickedness shall cast out the wicked.

10:4  He that deals [with] a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.

10:5  He that gathers in summer [is] a wise son, [but] he that sleeps in harvest [is] a son that causes shame.

10:6  Blessings [are] upon the head of the just, but the mouth of the wicked covers violence.

10:7  The memory of the just [is] blessed, but the name of the wicked shall stink.

10:8  The wise in heart will receive the commandments, but he who speaks foolishness shall fall.

10:9  He that walks in integrity walks securely, but he that perverts his ways shall be broken.

10:10  He that winks with the eye causes sorrow, and he that speaks foolishness shall fall.

10:11  The mouth of a righteous [man is] a well of life, but the mouth of the wicked covers violence.

10:12  Hatred stirs up strifes, but love covers all sins.

10:13  In the lips of the prudent wisdom is found and [is] a rod unto the back of him that is void of understanding.

10:14  Wise [men] keep knowledge, but the mouth of the foolish [is] near [unto] calamity.

10:15  The rich man's wealth [is] his strong city; the weakness of the poor [is] their poverty.

10:16  The work of the righteous [is] unto life, but the fruit of the wicked is for sin.

10:17  He [is in] the way of life that gives heed to chastening, but he that refuses reproof errs.

10:18  He that hides hatred [has] lying lips, and he that utters a slander, [is] a fool.

10:19  In the multitude of words there [is] no lack [of] rebellion, but he that refrains his lips [is] wise.

10:20  The tongue of the just [is as] choice silver, but the understanding of the wicked [is worth] little.

10:21  The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of wisdom.

10:22  The blessing of the LORD is that which makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.

10:23  To make an abomination [is] as sport to the fool, but wisdom is recreation to the man of intelligence.

10:24  The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him, but [God] shall grant the desire of the righteous.

10:25  When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no [more], but the righteous [is] founded for ever.

10:27  The fear of the LORD shall prolong days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

10:28  The hope of the righteous [is] joy, but the hope of the wicked shall perish.

10:29  The way of the LORD [is] strength to the perfect, but [it is] terror to the workers of iniquity.

10:30  The righteous eternally shall never be removed, but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.

10:31  The mouth of the just shall bring forth wisdom, but the perverse tongue shall be cut out.

10:32  The lips of the righteous shall know the will [of God], but the mouth of the wicked speaks perversion.:
