UST PRO Chapter 10

◄ PRO 10 ► ║ ©

10 These are the wise sayings said by Solomon:

Wise children make their fathers happy;

but stupid children make their mothers sad.

2 Riches that people acquire by acting wickedly will not benefit them;

but people who act righteously prevent themselves from dying too soon.

3 Yahweh prevents righteous people from starving,

but he prevents wicked people from getting what they want.

4 People who are too lazy to work become poor;

but people who work hard become rich.

5 A son who collects crops at the right time is insightful;

but a son who sleeps during the time to harvest crops is shameful.

6 God blesses righteous people;

but what wicked people say prevents others from knowing about the violent acts that they do.

7 People will be happy when they remember righteous people;

but people will forget wicked people like something that decays and disappears.

8 People who think wisely obey what people command them to do that is good,

but people who speak foolishly destroy themselves.

9 People who behave honestly will live safely;

but God will catch people who behave deceitfully.

10 People who gesture with their eyes to deceive people hurt people,

and people who speak foolishly destroy themselves.

11 What righteous people say is like a spring that enables people to live for a long time;

but what wicked people say prevents others from knowing about the violent acts that they do.

12 When people are hateful, they cause people to argue;

but when people are loving, they forgive people who wrong them.

13 Discerning people say what is wise,

but someone must punish people who do not think wisely.

14 Wise people sincerely consider what they should know,

but people who speak foolishly are destructive.

15 What rich people own keeps them safe like a wall keeps a city safe,

but being poor destroys poor people.

16 God rewards righteous people by allowing them to live for a long time,

but God recompenses wicked people by punishing them for sinning.

17 People who heed what is instructive will live for a long time;

but people who do not let others correct them do what will destroy them.

18 People who do not admit that they hate someone speak falsely.

People who slander others are stupid.

19 People who talk a lot sin a lot;

but people who refrain from speaking unnecessarily are wise.

20 What righteous people say is as valuable as the best silver;

but what wicked people think is worthless.

21 What righteous people say benefits many people,

but foolish people die because they do not think wisely.

22 When people become wealthy, it is because Yahweh has blessed them,

and he does not make them suffer for it.

23 Stupid people enjoy doing the wicked things that they planned to do,

but understanding people enjoy what is wise.

24 Wicked people will experience what frightens them;

but righteous people will receive what they want.

25 When something disastrous happens, it destroys wicked people,

but righteous people are like a foundation that lasts forever.

26 Lazy people irritate people who send them to do something for them,

like vinegar irritates teeth and smoke irritates eyes.

27 Reverently fearing Yahweh will cause a person to live for a long time;

but wicked people will not live for a long time.

28 What righteous people hope for leads to being joyful,

but what wicked people hope for will not happen.

29 What Yahweh does protects honest people like a fortress;

but what he does destroys people who act sinfully.

30 Righteous people will always be safe,

but wicked people will never live in our land.

31 Righteous people say what is wise,

but Yahweh will stop people who speak perversely from speaking.

32 What righteous people say is favorable,

but what wicked people say is perverse.
