Part 10

20:009:013 A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

20:009:014 For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

20:009:015 To call passengers who go right on their ways:

20:009:016 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

20:009:017 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

20:009:018 But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.

20:010:001 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

20:010:002 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.

20:010:003 The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.

20:010:004 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

20:010:005 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

20:010:006 Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

20:010:007 The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.

20:010:008 The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.

20:010:009 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

20:010:010 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.

20:010:011 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

20:010:012 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.

20:010:013 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.

20:010:014 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

20:010:015 The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.

20:010:016 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.

20:010:017 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.

20:010:018 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.

20:010:019 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.

20:010:020 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.

20:010:021 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.

20:010:022 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
