Proverbs: Chapter 10 (asv)

Proverbs 10
- 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 Jehovah will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; But he thrusteth away the desire of the wicked.
- 4 He becometh poor that worketh with a slack hand; But the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
- 5 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son; Buthe that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
- 6 Blessings are upon the head of the righteous; But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
- 7 The memory of the righteous is blessed; But the name of the wicked shall rot.
- 8 The wise in heart will receive commandments; But a prating fool shall fall.
- 9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely; But he that perverteth his ways shall be known.
- 10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; But a prating fool shall fall.
- 11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life; But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
- 12 Hatred stirreth up strifes; But love covereth all transgressions.
- 13 In the lips of him that hath discernment 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 a present destruction.
- 15 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city: The destruction of the poor is their poverty.
- 16 The labor of the righteoustendethto life; The increase of the wicked, to sin.
- 17 He is in the way of life that heedeth correction; But he that forsaketh reproof erreth.
- 18 He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; And he that uttereth a slander is a fool.
- 19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.
- 20 The tongue of the righteous isaschoice silver: The heart of the wicked is little worth.
- 21 The lips of the righteous feed many; But the foolish die for lack of understanding.
- 22 The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich; And he addeth no sorrow therewith.
- 23 It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness; Andso iswisdom to a man of understanding.
- 24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him; And the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
- 25 When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is 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 Jehovah prolongeth days; But the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
- 28 The hope of the righteousshall begladness; But the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
- 29 The way of Jehovah is a stronghold to the upright; But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
- 30 The righteous shall never be removed; But the wicked shall not dwell in the land.
- 31 The mouth of the righteous bringeth forth wisdom; But the perverse tongue shall be cut off.
- 32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable; But the mouth of the wickedspeaketh perverseness.

American Standard Version (asv - 2)

The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.

The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.

While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.

Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.
