| 1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish son is a grief to his mother. | 1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. | 1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father; But a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. | 1 A wise son maketh the father glad: but a foolish son is the sorrow of his mother. | 1 Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son causeth a father to rejoice, And a foolish son is an affliction to his mother. | 2 Ill-gotten gains do not profit, But righteousness delivers from death. | 2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death. | 2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; But righteousness delivereth from death. | 2 Treasures of wickedness shall profit nothing: but justice shall deliver from death. | 2 Treasures of wickedness profit not, And righteousness delivereth from death. | 3 The LORD will not allow the righteous to hunger, But He will reject the craving of the wicked. | 3 The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked. | 3 Jehovah will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; But he thrusteth away the desire of the wicked. | 3 The Lord will not afflict the soul of the just with famine, and he will disappoint the deceitful practices of the wicked. | 3 Jehovah causeth not the soul of the righteous to hunger, And the desire of the wicked He thrusteth away. | 4 Poor is he who works with a negligent hand, But the hand of the diligent makes rich. | 4 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. | 4 He becometh poor that worketh with a slack hand; But the hand of the diligent maketh rich. | 4 The slothful hand hath wrought poverty: but the hand of the industrious getteth riches. He that trusteth to lies feedeth the winds: and the same runneth after birds that fly away. | 4 Poor is he who is working -- a slothful hand, And the hand of the diligent maketh rich. | 5 He who gathers in summer is a son who acts wisely, But he who sleeps in harvest is a son who acts shamefully. | 5 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame. | 5 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son; But he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame. | 5 He that gathered in the harvest is a wise son: but he that snorteth in the summer, is the son of confusion. | 5 Whoso is gathering in summer is a wise son, Whoso is sleeping in harvest is a son causing shame. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 Blessings are on the head of the righteous, But the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. | 6 Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. | 6 Blessings are upon the head of the righteous; But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. | 6 The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the just: but iniquity covereth the mouth of the wicked. | 6 Blessings are for the head of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence. | 7 The memory of the righteous is blessed, But the name of the wicked will rot. | 7 The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot. | 7 The memory of the righteous is blessed; But the name of the wicked shall rot. | 7 The memory of the just is with praises: and the name of the wicked shall rot. | 7 The remembrance of the righteous is for a blessing, And the name of the wicked doth rot. | 8 The wise of heart will receive commands, But a babbling fool will be ruined. | 8 The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall. | 8 The wise in heart will receive commandments; But a prating fool shall fall. | 8 The wise of heart receiveth precepts: a fool is beaten with lips. | 8 The wise in heart accepteth commands, And a talkative fool kicketh. | 9 He who walks in integrity walks securely, But he who perverts his ways will be found out. | 9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. | 9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely; But he that perverteth his ways shall be known. | 9 He that walketh sincerely, walketh confidently: but he that perverteth his ways, shall be manifest. | 9 Whoso is walking in integrity walketh confidently, And whoso is perverting his ways is known. | 10 He who winks the eye causes trouble, And a babbling fool will be ruined. | 10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall. | 10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; But a prating fool shall fall. | 10 He that winketh with the eye shall cause sorrow: and the foolish in lips shall be beaten. | 10 Whoso is winking the eye giveth grief, And a talkative fool kicketh. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, But the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. | 11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. | 11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life; But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. | 11 The mouth of the just is a vein of life: and the mouth of the wicked covereth iniquity. | 11 A fountain of life is the mouth of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence. | 12 Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all transgressions. | 12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. | 12 Hatred stirreth up strifes; But love covereth all transgressions. | 12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: and charity covereth all sins. | 12 Hatred awaketh contentions, And over all transgressions love covereth. | 13 On the lips of the discerning, wisdom is found, But a rod is for the back of him who lacks understanding. | 13 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. | 13 In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found; But a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding. | 13 In the lips of the wise is wisdom found: and a rod on the back of him that wanteth sense. | 13 In the lips of the intelligent is wisdom found, And a rod is for the back of him who is lacking understanding. | 14 Wise men store up knowledge, But with the mouth of the foolish, ruin is at hand. | 14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction. | 14 Wise men lay up knowledge; But the mouth of the foolish is a present destruction. | 14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the fool is next to confusion. | 14 The wise lay up knowledge, and the mouth of a fool is near ruin. | 15 The rich man's wealth is his fortress, The ruin of the poor is their poverty. | 15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty. | 15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city: The destruction of the poor is their poverty. | 15 The substance of a rich man is the city of his strength: the fear of the poor is their poverty. | 15 The wealth of the rich is his strong city, The ruin of the poor is their poverty. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 16 The wages of the righteous is life, The income of the wicked, punishment. | 16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin. | 16 The labor of the righteous tendeth to life; The increase of the wicked, to sin. | 16 The work of the just is unto life: but the fruit of the wicked, unto sin. | 16 The wage of the righteous is for life, The increase of the wicked for sin. | 17 He is on the path of life who heeds instruction, But he who ignores reproof goes astray. | 17 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth. | 17 He is in the way of life that heedeth correction; But he that forsaketh reproof erreth. | 17 The way of life, to him that observeth correction: but he that forsaketh reproofs goeth astray. | 17 A traveller to life is he who is keeping instruction, And whoso is forsaking rebuke is erring. | 18 He who conceals hatred has lying lips, And he who spreads slander is a fool. | 18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool. | 18 He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; And he that uttereth a slander is a fool. | 18 Lying lips hide hatred: he that uttereth reproach is foolish. | 18 Whoso is covering hatred with lying lips, And whoso is bringing out an evil report is a fool. | 19 When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, But he who restrains his lips is wise. | 19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise. | 19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely. | 19 In the multitude of words there shall not want sin: but he that refraineth his lips is most wise. | 19 In the abundance of words transgression ceaseth not, And whoso is restraining his lips is wise. | 20 The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver, The heart of the wicked is worth little. | 20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth. | 20 The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver: The heart of the wicked is little worth. | 20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: but the heart of the wicked is nothing worth. | 20 The tongue of the righteous is chosen silver, The heart of the wicked -- as a little thing. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 21 The lips of the righteous feed many, But fools die for lack of understanding. | 21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom. | 21 The lips of the righteous feed many; But the foolish die for lack of understanding. | 21 The lips of the just teach many: but they that are ignorant, shall die in the want of understanding. | 21 The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools for lack of heart die. | 22 It is the blessing of the LORD that makes rich, And He adds no sorrow to it. | 22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. | 22 The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich; And he addeth no sorrow therewith. | 22 The blessing of the Lord maketh men rich: neither shall affliction be joined to them. | 22 The blessing of Jehovah -- it maketh rich, And He addeth no grief with it. | 23 Doing wickedness is like sport to a fool, And so is wisdom to a man of understanding. | 23 It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom. | 23 It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness; And'so is wisdom to a man of understanding. | 23 A fool worketh mischief as it were for sport: but wisdom is prudence to a man. | 23 To execute inventions is as play to a fool, And wisdom to a man of understanding. | 24 What the wicked fears will come upon him, But the desire of the righteous will be granted. | 24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted. | 24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him; And the desire of the righteous shall be granted. | 24 That which the wicked feareth, shall come upon him: to the just their desire shall be given. | 24 The feared thing of the wicked it meeteth him, And the desire of the righteous is given. | 25 When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more, But the righteous has an everlasting foundation. | 25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation. | 25 When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is no more; But the righteous is an everlasting foundation. | 25 As a tempest that passeth, so the wicked shall be no more: but the just is as an everlasting foundation. | 25 As the passing by of a hurricane, So the wicked is not, And the righteous is a foundation age-during. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 26 Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, So is the lazy one to those who send him. | 26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him. | 26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, So is the sluggard to them that send him. | 26 As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that sent him. | 26 As vinegar to the teeth, And as smoke to the eyes, So is the slothful to those sending him. | 27 The fear of the LORD prolongs life, But the years of the wicked will be shortened. | 27 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. | 27 The fear of Jehovah prolongeth days; But the years of the wicked shall be shortened. | 27 The fear of the Lord shall prolong days: and the years of the wicked shall be shortened. | 27 The fear of Jehovah addeth days, And the years of the wicked are shortened. | 28 The hope of the righteous is gladness, But the expectation of the wicked perishes. | 28 The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. | 28 The hope of the righteous'shall be gladness; But the expectation of the wicked shall perish. | 28 The expectation of the just is joy; but the hope of the wicked shall perish. | 28 The hope of the righteous is joyful, And the expectation of the wicked perisheth. | 29 The way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright, But ruin to the workers of iniquity. | 29 The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. | 29 The way of Jehovah is a stronghold to the upright; But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity. | 29 The strength of the upright is the way of the Lord: and fear to them that work evil. | 29 The way of Jehovah is strength to the perfect, And ruin to workers of iniquity. | 30 The righteous will never be shaken, But the wicked will not dwell in the land. | 30 The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth. | 30 The righteous shall never be removed; But the wicked shall not dwell in the land. | 30 The just shall never be moved: but the wicked shall not dwell on the earth. | 30 The righteous to the age is not moved, And the wicked inhabit not the earth. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 31 The mouth of the righteous flows with wisdom, But the perverted tongue will be cut out. | 31 The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out. | 31 The mouth of the righteous bringeth forth wisdom; But the perverse tongue shall be cut off. | 31 The mouth of the just shall bring forth wisdom: the tongue of the perverse shall perish. | 31 The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And the tongue of frowardness is cut out. | 32 The lips of the righteous bring forth what is acceptable, But the mouth of the wicked what is perverted. | 32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness. | 32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable; But the mouth of the wicked'speaketh perverseness. | 32 The lips of the just consider what is acceptable: and the mouth of the wicked uttereth perverse things. | 32 The lips of the righteous know a pleasing thing, And the mouth of the wicked perverseness! |
