10:1 The Proverbs of Solomon:
A wise child 2 makes a father rejoice, 3
but a foolish child 4 is a grief to his mother. 5
10:2 Treasures gained by wickedness 6 do not profit,
but righteousness 7 delivers from mortal danger. 8
10:3 The Lord satisfies 9 the appetite 10 of the righteous,
but he thwarts 11 the craving 12 of the wicked.
10:4 The one who is lazy 13 becomes poor, 14
but the one who works diligently 15 becomes wealthy. 16
10:5 The one who gathers crops 17 in the summer is a wise 18 son,
but the one who sleeps 19 during the harvest
is a son who brings shame to himself. 20
10:6 Blessings 21 are on the head of the righteous,
but the speech 22 of the wicked conceals 23 violence. 24
10:7 The memory 25 of the righteous is a blessing,
but the reputation 26 of the wicked will rot. 27
10:8 The wise person 28 accepts instructions, 29
but the one who speaks foolishness 30 will come to ruin. 31
10:9 The one who conducts himself 32 in integrity 33 will live 34 securely,
but the one who behaves perversely 35 will be found out.
