1The proverbs of Solomon:
2Ill-gotten treasures profit nothing,
3The LORD does not let the righteous go hungry,
4Idle hands make one poor,
5He who gathers in summer is a wise son,
6Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
7The memory of the righteous is a blessing,
8A wise heart will receive commandments,
9He who walks in integrity walks securely,
10He who winks the eye causes grief,
11The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,
12Hatred stirs up dissension,
13Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning,
14The wise store up knowledge,
15The wealth of the rich man is his fortified city,
16The labor of the righteous leads to life,
17Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life,
18The one who conceals hatred has lying lips,
19When words are many, sin is unavoidable,
20The tongue of the righteous is choice silver,
21The lips of the righteous feed many,
22The blessing of the LORD enriches,
23The fool delights in shameful conduct,
24What the wicked man dreads will overtake him,
25When the whirlwind passes, the wicked are no more,
26Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes,
27The fear of the LORD prolongs life,
28The hope of the righteous is joy,
29The way of the LORD is a refuge to the upright,
30The righteous will never be shaken,
31The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom,
32The lips of the righteous know what is fitting,
