Mishle 10:7-14 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

7. The memory of the tzaddik is as bracha, but the shem resha'im shall rot.

8. The chacham lev will receive mitzvot, but one with foolish sfatayim (lips) shall be thrust down.

9. He that walketh uprightly walketh securely, but he that perverteth his drakhim shall be known.

10. He that winketh with the ayin causeth trouble, but one with foolish sfatayim shall come to ruin.

11. The peh (mouth) of a tzaddik is a Makor Chayyim, but chamas covereth the peh (mouth) of the resha'im.

12. Sin'ah (hatred) stirreth up medanim (dissensions), but ahavah covereth all peysha'im.

13. In the sfatayim (lips) of him that hath understanding chochmah is found, but a shevet (rod) is for the back of him that is devoid of lev [understanding].

14. Chachamim treasure up da'as (knowledge); but the peh (mouth) of the foolish is near destruction.
