Proverbs 10 The proverbs of Solomon; contrasting righteous and
wicked lives
The discourses concerning wisdom and folly
(chaps.1-9) constitute a preface to the central portion of the book, which
contains 375 of Solomon’s proverbs. These proverbs are general principles and
guidelines which may have exceptions. Any exception is not a problem of
inerrancy, but a matter of the nature of proverbs. They are true as general
rules. A wise son. One who fears and obeys God and makes a successful
application of knowledge in everyday dealings. A foolish son. One who is
insensible, and insensitive to moral truth, acting without regard to it and to
his own destruction.(v.1). Wealth can sometimes protect from trouble, while
poverty is a liability which exposes one to misfortune.(v.15). The income of
the righteous establishes life while what is acquired by the crimes of the
wicked yields sin and ultimately death. (v.16). Real prosperity is a divine
blessing, accompanied by neither anxiety nor trouble. (v.22).
Proverbs 10 (KJV)
¹ The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a
glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.
² Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but
righteousness delivereth from death.
³ The LORD will not suffer the soul of the
righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.
⁴ He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack
hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
⁵ He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but
he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
⁶ Blessings are upon the head of the just: but
violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
⁷ The memory of the just is blessed: but the
name of the wicked shall rot.
⁸ The wise in heart will receive commandments:
but a prating fool shall fall.
¹⁰ He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.
¹¹ The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
¹² Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
¹³ In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
¹⁴ Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
¹⁵ The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
¹⁶ The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
¹⁷ He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
¹⁸ He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
²⁰ The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.
²¹ The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.
²² The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
²³ It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.
²⁴ The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
²⁵ As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
²⁶ As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.
²⁷ The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
²⁸ The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
²⁹ The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
³⁰ The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.
³¹ The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.
³² The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.

Proverbs 11 The Lord abhors dishonest
scales, but accurate weights are his delight.(v.1) Submission to God and man. A
quiet woman can win honor, whereas brute force will gain material possessions only.(vv.15-16).
The labor of the wicked has no blessing and brings no permanent gain, in contrast
to the righteous, who will earn an enduring reward. (v.18). verse 30 tree of life.
I.e., source fo life. Win souls. Not winning to salvation in this context, but attracting
others and imparting to them wisdom.
¹ A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but
a just weight is his delight.
² When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with
the lowly is wisdom.
³ The integrity of the upright shall guide them:
but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
⁴ Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but
righteousness delivereth from death.
⁵ The righteousness of the perfect shall direct
his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
⁶ The righteousness of the upright shall deliver
them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.
⁷ When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall
perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth.
⁸ The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and
the wicked cometh in his stead.
⁹ An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his
neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
¹⁰ When it goeth well with the righteous, the city
rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
¹¹ By the blessing of the upright the city is
exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
¹² He that is void of wisdom despiseth his
neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
¹³ A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is
of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
¹⁴ Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in
the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
¹⁵ He that is surety for a stranger shall smart
for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.
¹⁶ A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong
men retain riches.
¹⁷ The merciful man doeth good to his own soul:
but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.
¹⁸ The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him
that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.
¹⁹ As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that
pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
²⁰ They that are of a froward heart are
abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.
²¹ Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not
be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
²² As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a
fair woman which is without discretion.
²³ The desire of the righteous is only good: but
the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
²⁴ There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth;
and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.
²⁵ The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that
watereth shall be watered also himself.

curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.

the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

and he that winneth souls is wise.
³¹ Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in
the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.
箴 11
(CKJVGT)

⁷ 惡人一死，他的指望必滅絕；不義的人的盼望也必滅沒。

²¹ 惡人雖然連手，必不免受罰；義人的後裔必得拯救。
²² 婦女美貌而無見識，如同金器帶在豬鼻上。
²³ 義人的心願盡得好處；惡人的指望致干忿怒。
²⁴ 有施散的，卻更增添；有吝惜過度的，反致窮乏。
²⁵ 好施捨的，必得豐裕；滋潤人的，必得滋潤。
²⁶ 屯穀不賣的，民必咒詛他；情願出賣的，人必為他祝福。
