NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Proverbs 10

Contrast of the Righteous and the Wicked

1

The  aproverbsh4912 of Solomonh8010.  bA wiseh2450 sonh1121 makesh8055 a fatherh1 gladh8055, But  ca foolishh3684 sonh1121 is a griefh8424 to his motherh517.

2

 1 aIll-gottenh7562 gainsh214 do not profith3276, But righteousnessh6666 deliversh5337 from deathh4194.

3

The LORDh3068  awill not allow the  1righteoush6662 to hungerh7456, But He  bwill  2rejecth1920 the cravingh1942 of the wickedh7563.

4

Poorh7326 is he who worksh6213a with a negligenth7423b handh3709, But the  ahandh3027 of the diligenth2742a makesh6238 richh6238.

5

He who gathersh103 in summerh7019c is a sonh1121 who actsh7919a wiselyh7919a, But he who sleepsh7290a in harvesth7105a is a sonh1121 who actsh954 shamefullyh954.

6

 aBlessingsh1293 are on the headh7218 of the righteoush6662, But  bthe mouthh6310 of the wickedh7563 concealsh3680 violenceh2555.

7

The  amemoryh2143 of the righteoush6662 is blessedh1293, But  bthe nameh8034 of the wickedh7563 will roth7537.

8

The  awiseh2450 of hearth3820 will receiveh3947 commandsh4687, But  1a babblingh8193 foolh191 will be  2ruinedh3832.

9

He  awho walksh1980 in integrityh8537 walksh1980 securelyh983, But  bhe who pervertsh6140 his waysh1870 will be foundh3045 out.

10

He  awho winksh7169 the eyeh5869 causesh5414 troubleh6094, And  1 ba babblingh8193 foolh191 will be  2ruinedh3832.

11

The  amouthh6310 of the righteoush6662 is a fountainh4726 of lifeh2425b, But  bthe mouthh6310 of the wickedh7563 concealsh3680 violenceh2555.

12

Hatredh8135 stirsh5782 up strifeh4090, But  aloveh160 coversh3680 allh3605 transgressionsh6588.

13

On  athe lipsh8193 of the discerningh995, wisdomh2451 is foundh4672, But  ba rodh7626 is for the backh1460a of him whoh2638 lacksh2638  1understandingh3820.

14

Wiseh2450 menh2450  astoreh6845 up knowledgeh1847, But with  bthe mouthh6310 of the foolishh191, ruinh4288 is at handh7138.

15

The  arichh6223 man'sh6223 wealthh1952 is his  1fortressh7151h5797, The  bruinh4288 of the poorh1800b is their povertyh7389.

16

The  1 awagesh6468 of the righteoush6662 is lifeh2425b, The incomeh8393 of the wickedh7563, punishmenth2403b.

17

He  ais on the pathh734 of lifeh2425b who heedsh8104 instructionh4148, But he who ignoresh5800a reproofh8433b goesh8582 astrayh8582.

18

He  awho concealsh3680 hatredh8135 has lyingh8267 lipsh8193, And he who spreadsh3318 slanderh1681 is a foolh3684.

19

When there are  amanyh7230 wordsh1697, transgressionh6588 is unavoidableh2308h3808, But  bhe who restrainsh2820 his lipsh8193 is wiseh7919a.

20

The tongueh3956 of the righteoush6662 is as  achoiceh977 silverh3701, The hearth3820 of the wickedh7563 is worth littleh4592.

21

The  alipsh8193 of the righteoush6662 feedh7462a manyh7227a, But foolsh191  bdieh4191 for lackh2638 of  1understandingh3820.

22

It is the  ablessingh1293 of the LORDh3068 that makesh6238 richh6238, And He addsh3254 noh3808 sorrowh6089a to it.

23

Doingh6213a wickednessh2154 is like  asporth7814 to a foolh3684, And so is wisdomh2451 to a manh376 of understandingh8394.

24

Whath4034  athe wickedh7563 fearsh4034 will comeh935 upon him, But the  bdesireh8378 of the righteoush6662 will be grantedh5414.

25

When the  awhirlwindh5492a passesh5674a, the wickedh7563 is noh369 moreh369, But the  brighteoush6662 has an everlastingh5769 foundationh3247.

26

Like vinegarh2558 to the teethh8127 and smokeh6227 to the eyesh5869, Soh3651 is the  alazyh6102 oneh6102 to those who sendh7971 him.

27

The  afearh3374 of the LORDh3068 prolongsh3254  1lifeh3117, But the  byearsh8141 of the wickedh7563 will be shortenedh7114a.

28

The  ahopeh8431 of the righteoush6662 is gladnessh8057, But the  bexpectationh8615b of the wickedh7563 perishesh6.

29

The  awayh1870 of the LORDh3068 is a strongholdh4581 to the uprighth8537, But  bruinh4288 to the workersh6466 of iniquityh205.

30

The  arighteoush6662 will neverh5769h1077 be shakenh4131, But  bthe wickedh7563 will not dwellh7931 in the landh776.

31

The  amouthh6310 of the righteoush6662 flowsh5107 with wisdomh2451, But the  bpervertedh8419 tongueh3956 will be cuth3772 out.

32

The lipsh8193 of the righteoush6662 bringh3045 forthh3045  awhath7522 is acceptableh7522, But the  bmouthh6310 of the wickedh7563 whath8419 is pervertedh8419.
