Proverbs 10:4-11 Common English Bible (CEB)

4. Laziness brings poverty;hard work makes one rich.

5. A wise son harvests in the summer;a disgraceful son sleeps right through the harvest.

6. Blessings cover the head of the righteous,but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

7. The memory of the righteous is a blessing,but the name of the wicked rots.

8. The skilled mind accepts commands,but a foolish talker is ruined.

9. Those who walk in innocence walk with confidence,but those on crooked paths will be found out.

10. Those who wink an eye bring trouble;those who speak foolishly are ruined.

11. The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
