Proverbs Chapter 10

Proverbs 10:2
10:2 Treasures of {a} wickedness profit nothing: but
     righteousness delivereth from death.

     (a) That is, wickedly gotten.

Proverbs 10:3
10:3 The LORD will {b} not allow the soul of the righteous to
     famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.

     (b) Though he permits the just to want for a time, yet he
         will send him comfort in due season.

Proverbs 10:6
10:6 Blessings [are] upon the head of the just: but violence
     covereth the mouth of {c} the wicked.

     (c) When their wickedness is discovered, they will be as
         dumb and not know what to say.

Proverbs 10:7
10:7 The memory of the just [is] blessed: but the name of the
     wicked shall {d} perish.

     (d) Shall be vile and abhorred both by God and man,
         contrary to their own expectation, who think to make
         their name immortal.

Proverbs 10:10
10:10 He that {e} winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a
      {f} prating fool shall fall.

      (e) That bears a fair countenance and imagines mischief in
          his heart, as in Proverbs 6:13.
      (f) For the corruption of his heart is known by his talk.

Proverbs 10:13
10:13 In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is
      found: but {g} a rod [is] for the back of him that is void
      of understanding.

      (g) That is, God will find him out to punish him.

Proverbs 10:15
10:15 The rich man's wealth [is] his {h} strong city: the
      destruction of the poor [is] their poverty.

      (h) And so makes him bold to do evil, while poverty
          bridles the poor from many evil things.

Proverbs 10:21
10:21 The lips of the righteous {i} feed many: but fools die for
      lack of wisdom.

      (i) For they speak truth and edify many by exhortations,
          admonition and counsel.

Proverbs 10:22
10:22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth
      {k} no sorrow with it.

      (k) Meaning that all worldly things bring care and sorrow,
          where as they who feel the blessings of God have none.

Proverbs 10:26
10:26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so [is]
      the sluggard to them that {l} send him.

      (l) He is trouble and grief to him about any business.

Proverbs 10:27
10:27 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the
      wicked {m} shall be shortened.

      (m) The time of their prosperity will be short because of
          their great fall, though they seem to live long.

Proverbs 10:30
10:30 The righteous shall {n} never be removed: but the wicked
      shall not inhabit the earth.

      (n) They enjoy in this life by faith and hope, their
          everlasting life.
