(this is a scan from the exact, authentic, original 1611 'HE' King James Bible)

1 The Prouerbes of Solomon: A wise sonne maketh a glad father: but a foolish sonne is the heauinesse of his mother.

2 Treasures of wickednesse profit nothing: but righteousnes deliuereth from death.

3 The Lord will not suffer the soule of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.

4 Hee becommeth poore that dealeth with a slacke hand: but the hand of the diligent, maketh rich.

5 Hee that gathereth in Summer, is a wise sonne: but hee that sleepeth in haruest, is a sonne that causeth shame.

6 Blessings are vpon the head of the iust: but violence couereth the mouth of the wicked.

7 The memorie of the iust is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.

8 The wise in heart will receiue commaundements: but a prating foole shall fall.

9 He that walketh vprightly, walketh surely: but he that peruerteth his wayes, shalbe knowen.

10 Hee that winketh with the eye, causeth sorrow: but a prating foole shall fall.

11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence couereth the mouth of the wicked.

12 Hatred stirreth vp strifes: but loue couereth all sinnes.

13 In the lips of him that hath vnderstanding, wisedome is found: but a rod is for the backe of him that is voyd of vnderstanding.

14 Wise men lay vp knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is neere destruction.

15 The rich mans wealth is his strong citie: the destruction of the poore is their pouertie.

16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruite of the wicked to sinne.

17 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but hee that refuseth reproofe, erreth.

18 Hee that hideth hatred with lying lippes, and he that vttereth a slander, is a foole.

19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sinne: but he that refraineth his lippes, is wise.

20 The tongue of the iust is as choise siluer: the heart of the wicked is little worth.

21 The lippes of the righteous feed many: but fooles die for want of wisedome.

22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and hee addeth no sorrow with it.

23 It is as a sport to a foole to doe mischiefe: but a man of vnderstanding hath wisedome.

24 The feare of the wicked, it shall come vpon him: but the desire of the righteous shalbe granted.

25 As the whirlewinde passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an euerlasting foundation.

26 As vineger to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.

27 The feare of the Lord prolongeth dayes: but the yeeres of the wicked shalbe shortened.

28 The hope of the righteous shall bee gladnesse: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

29 The way of the Lord is strength to the vpright: but destruction shall bee to the workers of iniquitie.

30 The righteous shall neuer bee remooued: but the wicked shall not inhabite the earth.

31 The mouth of the iust bringeth foorth wisedome: but the froward tongue shalbe cut out.

32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardnesse.

Christopher barnett's Proverbs Chapter 10 comment about verse 22 on 5/11/2013, 4:30pm...

Proverts 10:22 is a great verse.It tells of God's blessings in a very complete way. It cannot be inhance by us and there is no strings attached. when God blesses you, He blesses you. In other words "who God bless no man curse"

 


Gbolahan Abiodun's Proverbs Chapter 10 comment on 2/28/2013, 6:12am...

It is incredibly worthy of note that the blessing of the LORD maketh rich and He adds no sorrow to it. Well, as true as that is, I firmly believe that we must never forget that if we genuinely belong to the things that the Holy Spirit dispenses and administers, we should see ourselves individually as blessings. That is what righteousness demands. As a matter of fact, you can’t be a blessing and not know about it. And that also signifies that if we are joint heirs with the Lord, (I’m talking about those that have genuinely given their lives to Jesus Christ, for Him to become their Saviour and LORD) then we are also joint blessings- and that simply because of the covenant. I don’t know about you, the truth is except you see yourself as the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ- and live in accordance with the commitments of the Holy Writ, your glory won’t sing and give adoration unto Him. And that refers to your tongue. There are all manner of things that God, in His eternal loving kindness loves to dispense and administer to us through the Holy Spirit, and that demands humility in order to receive such things. You see, you and I can’t have the Most Holy and the Most blessed God for us, and at work upon, and also in us and worry about nothing. And that is because all our needs are already met through Jesus Christ of Nazareth. However, we can’t be higher than the level of obedience that we put in place, vis a vis His Kingdom, and also with regards to the challenges of life. In fact what we do daily reveals the type of trust that we put in the triune God. Hence the import of pouring ourselves on the dictates of the Holy Writ. In other words you can’t be wiser than your daily humility. And with that self and personal examination becomes necessary. What do these mean? Well, until we clothe ourselves with practical obedience, the struggle continues, and there is nothing that you can do about it. The wisdom of God won’t change. It’s mind, and hence, as individual God, in His unfathomable blessedness, has issued divine invitations that we as they that crave and hunger after His Word, should live in line with them. And then no matter where we are, that must result in praise, honour, adoration and glory to His holy name. He alone is worthy of praise and adoration.

 


Reubina crayton's Proverbs Chapter 10 comment about verse 22 on 2/27/2013, 5:31pm...

The blessing of the Lord maketh rich when we decide to trust in Christ and be content, we must have a new mindset, a new thinking process, without grumbling complaining and worrying. Just being free in him, giving him your cares, all trusting him with our daily lives; knowing that we belong to him and he will take care of all our needs and wants. What comes to mind is “seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you”.

 


Umahi paul-michaels's Proverbs Chapter 10 comment about verse 22 on 2/27/2013, 4:54am...

It's time the children of God come to realization about God’s blessing. It does not end or stop with material things; for it goes beyond materialistic. And the bible says His blessings make us rich, and add no sorrow, believers should beware of this.

 


Greatness's Proverbs Chapter 10 comment about verse 19 on 2/25/2013, 11:13am...

I think it is a profound proverb. Not only it teaches us not to talk too much, but it also teaches us to listen more and be attentive of the voice of God. I think it also applies in prayer, that one should pray and have time to listen to what God is saying. Amen.

 


Tony George's Proverbs Chapter 10 comment about verse 22 on 2/08/2013, 2:32pm...

It's a powerful word! When God bless you, that blessing bringeth Joy, peace and Comfort, there is no sorrow, pain or struggle in it. It can be your Job, Marriage, physical health or Spiritual life. Anything that comes with sorrow, pain and struggle is not from the Lord God Almighty. And you know where it is from. If you lost your Joy, Peace and comfort in your surroundings, better you leave out of the zone. Because you are in the wrong direction. God Bless you.

 


Bev's Proverbs Chapter 10 comment about verse 22 on 2/04/2013, 10:12pm...

This verse tells me that God is in control of my destiny , that when He bless me I am truly blessed for it will not be by the efforts of my hands nor of my mind ,but it will be is Divine intervention by his might and his precious Holy Spirit!!

 


Evangelist Myles's Proverbs Chapter 10 comment about verse 22 on 11/05/2012, 6:33am...

One thing about the blessing of the Lord is you won't have to lie, cheat or steal to be blessed by Him. It comes because we trust and obey Him and then we wait on Him to do just what He says He will do. Blessings come in many different forms, not always materialistically.
