Proverbs 10

The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

parabolae Salomonis filius sapiens laetificat patrem filius vero stultus maestitia est matris suae

Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.

non proderunt thesauri impietatis iustitia vero liberabit a morte

The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.

non adfliget Dominus fame animam iusti et insidias impiorum subvertet

He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

egestatem operata est manus remissa manus autem fortium divitias parat

He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

qui congregat in messe filius sapiens est qui autem stertit aestate filius confusionis

Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

benedictio super caput iusti os autem impiorum operit iniquitatem

The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.

memoria iusti cum laudibus et nomen impiorum putrescet

The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.

sapiens corde praecepta suscipiet stultus caeditur labiis

He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

qui ambulat simpliciter ambulat confidenter qui autem depravat vias suas manifestus erit

He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.

qui annuit oculo dabit dolorem stultus labiis verberabitur

The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

vena vitae os iusti et os impiorum operiet iniquitatem

Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.

odium suscitat rixas et universa delicta operit caritas

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.

in labiis sapientis invenietur sapientia et virga in dorso eius qui indiget corde

Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

sapientes abscondunt scientiam os autem stulti confusioni proximum est

The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.

substantia divitis urbs fortitudinis eius pavor pauperum egestas eorum

The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.

opus iusti ad vitam fructus impii ad peccatum

He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.

via vitae custodienti disciplinam qui autem increpationes relinquit errat

He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.

abscondunt odium labia mendacia qui profert contumeliam insipiens est

In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.

in multiloquio peccatum non deerit qui autem moderatur labia sua prudentissimus est

The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.

argentum electum lingua iusti cor impiorum pro nihilo

The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.

labia iusti erudiunt plurimos qui autem indocti sunt in cordis egestate morientur

The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

benedictio Domini divites facit nec sociabitur ei adflictio

It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.

quasi per risum stultus operatur scelus sapientia autem est viro prudentia

The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

quod timet impius veniet super eum desiderium suum iustis dabitur

As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.

quasi tempestas transiens non erit impius iustus autem quasi fundamentum sempiternum

As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.

sicut acetum dentibus et fumus oculis sic piger his qui miserunt eum

The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

timor Domini adponet dies et anni impiorum breviabuntur

The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

expectatio iustorum laetitia spes autem impiorum peribit

The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

fortitudo simplicis via Domini et pavor his qui operantur malum

The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.

iustus in aeternum non commovebitur impii autem non habitabunt in terram

The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.

os iusti parturiet sapientiam lingua pravorum peribit

The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.

labia iusti considerant placita et os impiorum perversa
