Mishle 10
10
1The mishle (proverbs) of Sh'lomo. A ben chacham maketh glad an av, but a ben kesil is the grief of his em.
2Otzarot resha profit nothing, but tzedakah (righteousness) saveth from mavet.
3 Hashem will not suffer the nefesh of the tzaddik to famish, but He thwarteth the craving of the resha'im.
4He becometh poor that dealeth with a negligent palm, but the yad of the diligent maketh wealth.
5He that gathereth in kayitz is a ben maskil (son of wisdom), but he that sleepeth in katzir (harvest) is a ben that causeth shame.
6Brakhot are upon the head of the tzaddik, but chamas covereth the peh (mouth) of the resha'im.
7The memory of the tzaddik is as bracha, but the shem resha'im shall rot.
8The chacham lev will receive mitzvot, but one with foolish sfatayim (lips) shall be thrust down.
9He that walketh uprightly walketh securely, but he that perverteth his drakhim shall be known.
10He that winketh with the ayin causeth trouble, but one with foolish sfatayim shall come to ruin.
11The peh (mouth) of a tzaddik is a Makor Chayyim, but chamas covereth the peh (mouth) of the resha'im.
12Sin'ah (hatred) stirreth up medanim (dissensions), but ahavah covereth all peysha'im.
13In the sfatayim (lips) of him that hath understanding chochmah is found, but a shevet (rod) is for the back of him that is devoid of lev.#10:13 understanding
14Chachamim treasure up da'as (knowledge); but the peh (mouth) of the foolish is near destruction.
15The oisherʼs wealth is his strong city; the destruction of the poor ones is their poverty.
16The wage of the tzaddik leadeth to Chayyim; the wage of the rashah is for chattat.#10:16 Ro 6:23
17He is in the orach (path) of Chayyim that is shomer over musar, but he that abandoneth tokhakhat (reproof) goes astray.
18He that hideth sin'ah with sfatayim sheker, and he that uttereth a slander, is a kesil (fool).
19In the multitude of devarim there wanteth not sin, but he that restraineth his sfatayim (lips) is maskil (wise).
20The lashon of the tzaddik is as choice kesef; the lev of the resha'im is of little worth.
21The sfatayim (lips) of the tzaddik feed rabbim (many), but fools die for lack of lev.#10:21 of chochmah
22The Birkat Hashem, it maketh wealthy, and He addeth no sorrow with it.
23It is as sport to a kesil to do zimmah (evil design), but an ish tevunah (man of understanding) hath chochmah.
24What the rashah dreads, it shall come upon him, but the ta'avat tzaddikim shall be granted.
25As the whirlwind passeth, so is the rashah no more, but the tzaddik is a yesod olam (an everlasting foundation).
26As chometz to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the atzel (sluggard, lazy one) to them that send him.
27The Yirat Hashem prolongeth yamim; but the shanot of the resha'im shall be cut short.
28The prospect of the tzaddikim shall be simchah, but the tikveh of the resha'im shall perish.
29The Derech Hashem is maoz to the blameless, but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
30The tzaddik shall never be removed, but the resha'im shall not inhabit Eretz.
31The peh (mouth) of the tzaddik bringeth forth chochmah, but the lashon tahpukhot (tongue of perversion, distortion) shall be cut off.
32The sfatayim (lips) of the tzaddik know what is ratzon (acceptable), but the peh (mouth) of the resha'im speaketh tahpukhot (perversity).

Proverbs 10
10
1 The proverbs of Solomon.
A wise son makes a glad father;
but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.
2Treasures of wickedness profit nothing,
but righteousness delivers from death.
3 The LORD will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry,
but he thrusts away the desire of the wicked.
4 He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand,
but the hand of the diligent brings wealth.
5 He who gathers in summer is a wise son,
but he who sleeps during the harvest is a son who causes shame.
6 Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
7 The memory of the righteous is blessed,
but the name of the wicked will rot.
8 The wise in heart accept commandments,
but a chattering fool will fall.
9 He who walks blamelessly walks surely,
but he who perverts his ways will be found out.
10One who winks with the eye causes sorrow,
but a chattering fool will fall.
11 The mouth of the righteous is a spring of life,
but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
12 Hatred stirs up strife,
but love covers all wrongs.
13 Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has discernment,
but a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding.
14 Wise men lay up knowledge,
but the mouth of the foolish is near ruin.
15 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city.
The destruction of the poor is their poverty.
16 The labour of the righteous leads to life.
The increase of the wicked leads to sin.
17 He is in the way of life who heeds correction,
but he who forsakes reproof leads others astray.
18 He who hides hatred has lying lips.
He who utters a slander is a fool.
19 In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience,
but he who restrains his lips does wisely.
20 The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver.
The heart of the wicked is of little worth.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many,
but the foolish die for lack of understanding.
22 The LORD’s blessing brings wealth,
and he adds no trouble to it.
23 It is a fool’s pleasure to do wickedness,
but wisdom is a man of understanding’s pleasure.
24 What the wicked fear will overtake them,
but the desire of the righteous will be granted.
25 When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more;
but the righteous stand firm forever.
26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes,
so is the sluggard to those who send him.
27 The fear of the LORD prolongs days,
but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
28 The prospect of the righteous is joy,
but the hope of the wicked will perish.
29 The way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright,
but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
30 The righteous will never be removed,
but the wicked will not dwell in the land.
31 The mouth of the righteous produces wisdom,
but the perverse tongue will be cut off.
32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.
