Proverbs 第 10

A wise child brings joy to the whole family, while foolishness weighs heavily on a parent's heart. Our choices ripple outward and shape the atmosphere of our home.

Ill-gotten wealth may sparkle for a moment, but it cannot save you when it truly matters. Righteousness is the real treasure—it carries you through the darkest valleys.

God watches over those who seek Him and ensures they are not left wanting. The path of the wicked, however, leads to emptiness and loss.

Laziness gently erodes what you have, while diligence builds something lasting. The difference between poverty and prosperity often comes down to daily effort.

There is a season for work and a season for rest—wisdom knows the difference. Sleeping through your harvest season means watching opportunities slip away.

A life lived with integrity attracts blessings like a magnet, while violence and deceit eventually expose themselves. What covers your life—blessing or ruin—flows from your choices.

The memory of a good person becomes a blessing that outlives them. A corrupt legacy, on the other hand, simply fades into nothing.

A wise heart stays open to correction and grows stronger because of it. The one who talks endlessly without listening sets their own trap.

Walking with integrity gives you confidence—you have nothing to hide. But crooked paths always lead to exposure and shame.

Sly gestures and hidden motives cause pain even when words aren't spoken. Deceit in any form leads to a fall.

The words of a righteous person refresh and nourish everyone around them, like a flowing spring. But violent speech poisons the very air it enters.

Love has the remarkable power to heal wounds and cover over offenses. Hatred only fans the flames of conflict, making everything worse.

Wisdom naturally flows from someone who truly understands life. Those who refuse to learn, however, will face painful consequences again and again.

Wise people quietly store up knowledge for the right moment. The foolish let careless words pour out, bringing themselves closer to disaster.

Wealth can feel like a fortress, but poverty can feel like a trap. Neither defines your worth—what matters is how you steward what you've been given.

The work of a righteous person feeds their soul and points toward life. The fruit of wickedness only deepens the spiral of sin.

Accepting correction puts you on the path of life itself. Rejecting it may feel easier in the moment, but it leads you further from where you want to be.

Hiding hatred behind fake words or spreading rumors—both are foolishness in disguise. Honesty, even when difficult, is always the wiser path.

Talking too much almost guarantees you'll say something wrong. There is real wisdom in knowing when to stay quiet.

The words of a just person carry immense value, like refined silver. A wicked heart, despite its outward confidence, holds little real worth.

When you speak with wisdom, you nourish the people around you. Without understanding, even the basic needs of life remain out of reach.

There is a kind of blessing from God that brings true abundance without the heavy burden of sorrow. His gifts don't come with hidden costs.

What the foolish person treats as a game actually causes real harm. A person of understanding finds their joy in wisdom, not in mischief.

The very thing the wicked fear tends to find them. But the deepest desires of the righteous—God delights in fulfilling those.

Storms will come, and the wicked are swept away like dust. But the righteous remain standing—anchored, steady, and sure.

An unreliable person is as irritating as smoke in your eyes or vinegar on your teeth. When someone sends you, do the job well—it matters more than you think.

A life lived in reverence toward God tends to be longer and richer. The years of those who ignore Him are often cut short by their own choices.

Righteousness leads to genuine joy that doesn't fade. The expectations built on wickedness, however, will always crumble in the end.

Walking in God's way gives you strength for the journey. Choosing a path of wrongdoing may seem easy, but it leads to destruction.

The righteous have a permanence that the world cannot shake. But those who live wickedly will find they have no lasting place.

When a just person speaks, wisdom flows naturally. Deceitful speech, on the other hand, will eventually be silenced.

The righteous instinctively know what is good and fitting to say. The wicked, by contrast, blurt out whatever is twisted and harmful.
