Proverbs 10:1-11 NIV
10 The proverbs of Solomon:
A wise son brings joy to his father,
    but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.
2 Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value,
    but righteousness delivers from death.
3 The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry,
    but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.
4 Lazy hands make for poverty,
    but diligent hands bring wealth.
5 He who gathers crops in summer is a prudent son,
    but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.
6 Blessings crown the head of the righteous,
    but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.
7 The name of the righteous is used in blessings,
    but the name of the wicked will rot.
8 The wise in heart accept commands,
    but a chattering fool comes to ruin.
9 Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,
    but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.
10 Whoever winks maliciously causes grief,
    and a chattering fool comes to ruin.
11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,
    but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
