  4. Proverbs 10:1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish son is a grief to his mother.

  5. Proverbs 10:2-4 Ill-gotten gains do not profit, But righteousness delivers from death. 3 The LORD will not allow the righteous to hunger, But He will reject the craving of the wicked. 4 Poor is he who works with a negligent hand, But the hand of the diligent makes rich. Common theme?

  6. Proverbs 10:5 He who gathers in summer is a son who acts wisely, But he who sleeps in harvest is a son who acts shamefully. Skilled work brings Success Common theme?

  7. Proverbs 10:26 Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, So is the lazy one to those who send him. Skilled work brings Success

  8. Proverbs 10:29 Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before obscure men. Skilled work brings Success

  9. Proverbs 6:6-8 Go to the ant, O sluggard Observe her ways and be wise, Which, having no chief, Officer, or ruler; Prepares her food in the summer, And gathers her provisions in the harvest. Dilligent work brings Success

  10. Proverbs 6:9-11 How long will you lie down, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? 10 “A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest” – 11 Your poverty will come in like a vagabond And your need like an armed man.

  11. Proverbs 15:19 The way of the lazy is as a hedge of thorns, But the path of the upright is a highway.

  12. Finance Proverbs 11:28 He who trusts in his riches will fall, But the righteous will flourish like the green leaf.

  13. Finance Proverbs 3:27-28 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in your power to do it. 28 Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come back, And tomorrow I will give it,” When you have it with you.

  14. Finance Proverbs 22:7 The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower becomes the lender’s slave.

  15. Speech Proverbs 26:17-19 Like one who takes a dog by the ears Is he who passes by and meddles with strife not belonging to him. 18 Like a madman who throws Firebrands, arrows and death, 19 So is the man who deceives his neighbor, And says, “Was I not joking?”

  16. Speech Proverbs 26:20-22 For lack of wood the fire goes out, And where there is no whisperer, contention quiets down. 21Like charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to kindle strife. 22 The words of a whisperer are like dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts of the body.

  17. Speech Proverbs 26:23-25 Like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross Are burning lips and a wicked heart. 24 He who hates disguises it with his lips, But he lays up deceit in his heart. 25 When he speaks graciously, do not believe him, For there are seven abominations in his heart.

  18. Speech Proverbs 26:26-38 Though his hatred covers itself with guile, His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly. 27 He who digs a pit will fall into it, And he who rolls a stone, it will come back on him. 28 A lying tongue hates those it crushes, And a flattering mouth works ruin.

  19. Speech Proverbs 22:10-12 Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go out, Even strife and dishonor will cease. 11 He who loves purity of heart And whose speech is gracious, the king is his friend. 12 The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, But He overthrows the words of the treacherous man.

  20. Speech Proverbs 22:13-14 The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside; I shall be slain in the streets!” 14 The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit; He who is cursed of the LORD will fall into it.

  21. Speech Proverbs 13:1-3 A wise son accepts his father's discipline, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke. 2 From the fruit of a man's mouth he enjoys good, But the desire of the treacherous is violence. 3 The one who guards his mouth preserves his life; The one who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

  22. Proverbs 30 The Words of Agur

  23. Proverbs 30:5-6 Every word of God is tested; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. 6 Do not add to His words Or He will reprove you, and you will be proved a liar.

  24. Proverbs 30:7-9 Two things I asked of You, Do not refuse me before I die: 8 Keep deception and lies far from me, Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is my portion, 9 That I not be full and deny You and say, “Who is the LORD?” Or that I not be in want and steal, And profane the name of my God.

  25. Proverbs 30:11-13 There is a kind of man who curses his father And does not bless his mother. 12 There is a kind who is pure in his own eyes, Yet is not washed from his filthiness. 13 There is a kind-- oh how lofty are his eyes! And his eyelids are raised in arrogance.

  26. Proverbs 30:14 There is a kind of man whose teeth are like swords And his jaw teeth like knives, To devour the afflicted from the earth And the needy from among men.

  27. Proverbs 30:15-16 The leech has two daughters, “Give,” “Give.” There are three things that will not be satisfied, Four that will not say, “Enough”: 16 Sheol, and the barren womb, Earth that is never satisfied with water, And fire that never says, “Enough.”

  28. Proverbs 30:18-19 There are three things which are too wonderful for me, Four which I do not understand: 19 The way of an eagle in the sky, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the middle of the sea, And the way of a man with a maid.
