Proverbs 10:1-10

New King James Version

^(B)A wise son makes a glad father,
But a foolish son is the grief of his mother.

^2 (C)Treasures of wickedness profit nothing,
^(D)But righteousness delivers from death.
^3 (E)The Lord will not allow the righteous soul to famish,
But He casts away the desire of the wicked.

^4 (F)He who has a slack hand becomes poor,
But ^(G)the hand of the diligent makes rich.
⁵ He who gathers in ^(H)summer is a wise son;
He who sleeps in harvest is ^(I)a son who causes shame.

⁶ Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
But violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
^7 (J)The memory of the righteous is blessed,
But the name of the wicked will rot.

⁸ The wise in heart will receive commands,
^(K)But ^[a]a prating fool will ^[b]fall.

^9 (L)He who walks with integrity walks securely,
But he who perverts his ways will become known.

¹⁰ He who winks with the eye causes trouble,
But a prating fool will fall.
