Proverbs 10 — Douay-Rheims Bible

A wise son maketh the father glad: but a foolish son is the sorrow of his mother.● Treasures of wickedness shall profit nothing: but justice shall deliver from death.● The Lord will not afflict the soul of the just with famine, and he will disappoint the deceitful practices of the wicked.● 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.● He that gathereth in the harvest, is a wise son: but he that snorteth in the summer, is the son of confusion.● The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the just: but iniquity covereth the mouth of the wicked.● The memory of the just is with praises: and the name of the wicked shall rot.● The wise of heart receiveth precepts: a fool is beaten with lips.● He that walketh sincerely, walketh confidently: but he that perverteth his ways, shall be manifest.● He that winketh with the eye, shall cause sorrow: and the foolish in lips shall be beaten.● The mouth of the just is a vein of life: and the mouth of the wicked covereth iniquity.● Hatred stirreth up strifes: and charity covereth all sins.● In the lips of the wise is wisdom found: and a rod on the back of him that wanteth sense.● Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the fool is next to confusion.● The substance of a rich man is the city of his strength: the fear of the poor is their poverty.● The work of the just is unto life: but the fruit of the wicked unto sin.● The way of life, to him that observeth correction: but he that forsaketh reproofs, goeth astray.● Lying lips hide hatred: he that uttereth reproach, is foolish.● In the multitude of words there shall not want sin: but he that refraineth his lips, is most wise.● The tongue of the just is as choice silver: but the heart of the wicked is nothing worth.● The lips of the just teach many: but they that are ignorant, shall die in the want of understanding.● The blessing of the Lord maketh men rich: neither shall affliction be joined to them.● A fool worketh mischief as it were for sport: but wisdom is prudence to a man.● That which the wicked feareth, shall come upon him: to the just their desire shall be given.● As a tempest that passeth, so the wicked shall be no more: but the just is as an everlasting foundation.● As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that sent him.● The fear of the Lord shall prolong days: and the years of the wicked shall be shortened.● The expectation of the just is joy: but the hope of the wicked shall perish.● The strength of the upright is the way of the Lord: and fear to them that work evil.● The just shall never be moved: but the wicked shall not dwell on the earth.● The mouth of the just shall bring forth wisdom: the tongue of the perverse shall perish.● The lips of the just consider what is acceptable: and the mouth of the wicked uttereth perverse things.●
