Welcome to the Daily Audio Proverb. Today is the 10th of the month. My name is Brian Hardin, and it is a joy.

To be here with you today as we spend a few minutes in God's Word in the book of Proverbs chapter 10 from the new King James version today.

The Proverbs of Solomon

A wise son makes a father glad, but a foolish son is the grief of his mother.

Treasures of wickedness profit nothing but righteousness delivers from death.

The Lord will not allow the righteous soul to famish,

but he casts away the desire of the wicked.

He who has a slack hand becomes poor,

but the hand of the diligent makes rich.

He who gathers in summer is a wise son.

He who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame.

Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot.

The wise and heart will receive commands, but a prating fool will fall.

He who walks with integrity, walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will become known.

He who winks with the eye causes trouble, but a prating fool will fall.

The mouth of the righteous is a well of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sins.

Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has understanding, but a rod is for the back of him who is devoid of understanding.

Wise people store up knowledge, but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

The rich man's wealth is his strong city.

The destruction of the poor is their poverty.
