Proverbs of Solomon
10 The proverbs of Solomon:
A wise child makes a father glad,
but a foolish child grieves his mother.
2 Treasures of wickedness do not profit,
but righteousness delivers from death.
3 Yahweh will not cause a righteous person[a] to go hungry,
but the craving of the wicked he will thwart.
4 A slack hand causes poverty,
but the hand of the diligent enriches.
5 He who gathers in the summer is a child who is prudent;
he who sleeps at the harvest is a child who brings shame.
6 Blessings belong to the head of the righteous,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
7 The memory of righteousness is like a blessing,
but the name of the wicked will rot.
8 A heart of wisdom will heed commandments,
but a babbling fool will come to ruin.
9 Whoever walks in integrity[b] will walk securely,
but whoever follows perversity, his ways will be made known.
10 The winking of an eye causes[c] trouble,
and the foolishness of lips comes to ruin.
11 A fountain of life is a mouth of righteousness,
and a mouth of wickedness conceals violence.
12 Hatred stirs up strife,
but love covers over all offenses.
13 On the lips of one who has understanding, wisdom is found,
but a rod is for the back of one who lacks sense.[d]
14 Those who are wise lay up knowledge,
but to the mouth of the fool, ruin draws near.
15 The wealth of the rich is the city of his strength;
the ruin of the poor is their poverty.
16 The wage of the righteous leads to life;
the gain of the wicked to sin.
17 On the path to life is he who guards instruction,
but he who rejects rebuke goes astray.
18 He who conceals hatred has lips of deceit,
and he who utters slander—he is a fool.
19 In many words, transgression is not lacking,
but he who restrains his lips is prudent.
20 Choice silver is a tongue of righteousness,
a heart[e] of wickedness is of little worth.[f]
21 Lips of righteousness feed many,
but fools die for lack of sense.[g]
22 The blessing of Yahweh makes one rich,
and he does not increase sorrow with it.
23 It is like a sport for a fool to do wrong,
wisdom for a person of understanding.
24 The dread of the wicked will come upon him,
but the desire of the righteous will be granted.
25 With the passing of the tempest, there is no wickedness,
but the righteous have a foundation forever.
26 Like vinegar to the tooth and like smoke to the eyes,
thus is the lazy to one who employs[h] him.
27 The fear of Yahweh adds life,
but the years of the wicked are shortened.
28 The hope of the righteous is gladness,
but the expectation of the wicked comes to nothing.
29 A stronghold for the upright is the way of Yahweh,
but ruin belongs to evildoers.[i]
30 The righteous one is forever; he will not be removed.
But the wicked will not remain in the land.[j]
31 The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom,
but a tongue of perversity will be cut off.
32 The lips of the righteous know the acceptable,
but the mouth of the wicked, the perverse.

Proverbes 10

10 Proverbes de Salomon. Un fils sage fait la joie d'un père, Et un fils insensé le chagrin de sa mère.
2 Les trésors de la méchanceté ne profitent pas, Mais la justice délivre de la mort.
3 L'Éternel ne laisse pas le juste souffrir de la faim, Mais il repousse l'avidité des méchants.
4 Celui qui agit d'une main lâche s'appauvrit, Mais la main des diligents enrichit.
5 Celui qui amasse pendant l'été est un fils prudent, Celui qui dort pendant la moisson est un fils qui fait honte.
6 Il y a des bénédictions sur la tête du juste, Mais la violence couvre la bouche des méchants.
7 La mémoire du juste est en bénédiction, Mais le nom des méchants tombe en pourriture.
8 Celui qui est sage de coeur reçoit les préceptes, Mais celui qui est insensé des lèvres court à sa perte.
9 Celui qui marche dans l'intégrité marche avec assurance, Mais celui qui prend des voies tortueuses sera découvert.
10 Celui qui cligne des yeux est une cause de chagrin, Et celui qui est insensé des lèvres court à sa perte.
11 La bouche du juste est une source de vie, Mais la violence couvre la bouche des méchants.
12 La haine excite des querelles, Mais l'amour couvre toutes les fautes.
13 Sur les lèvres de l'homme intelligent se trouve la sagesse, Mais la verge est pour le dos de celui qui est dépourvu de sens.
14 Les sages tiennent la science en réserve, Mais la bouche de l'insensé est une ruine prochaine.
15 La fortune est pour le riche une ville forte; La ruine des misérables, c'est leur pauvreté.
16 L'oeuvre du juste est pour la vie, Le gain du méchant est pour le péché.
17 Celui qui se souvient de la correction prend le chemin de la vie, Mais celui qui oublie la réprimande s'égare.
18 Celui qui dissimule la haine a des lèvres menteuses, Et celui qui répand la calomnie est un insensé.
19 Celui qui parle beaucoup ne manque pas de pécher, Mais celui qui retient ses lèvres est un homme prudent.
20 La langue du juste est un argent de choix; Le coeur des méchants est peu de chose.
21 Les lèvres du juste dirigent beaucoup d'hommes, Et les insensés meurent par défaut de raison.
22 C'est la bénédiction de l'Éternel qui enrichit, Et il ne la fait suivre d'aucun chagrin.
23 Commettre le crime paraît un jeu à l'insensé, Mais la sagesse appartient à l'homme intelligent.
24 Ce que redoute le méchant, c'est ce qui lui arrive; Et ce que désirent les justes leur est accordé.
25 Comme passe le tourbillon, ainsi disparaît le méchant; Mais le juste a des fondements éternels.
26 Ce que le vinaigre est aux dents et la fumée aux yeux, Tel est le paresseux pour celui qui l'envoie.
27 La crainte de l'Éternel augmente les jours, Mais les années des méchants sont abrégées.
28 L'attente des justes n'est que joie, Mais l'espérance des méchants périra.
29 La voie de l'Éternel est un rempart pour l'intégrité, Mais elle est une ruine pour ceux qui font le mal.
30 Le juste ne chancellera jamais, Mais les méchants n'habiteront pas le pays.
31 La bouche du juste produit la sagesse, Mais la langue perverse sera retranchée.
32 Les lèvres du juste connaissent la grâce, Et la bouche des méchants la perversité.
