Proverbs 10:22–24

22 The blessing of the Lord brings wealth,

without painful toil for it.

23 A fool finds pleasure in wicked schemes,

but a person of understanding delights in wisdom.

24 What the wicked dread will overtake them;

what the righteous desire will be granted.

22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich,

And he addeth no sorrow with it.

23 It is as sport to a fool to do mischief:

But a man of understanding hath wisdom.

24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him:

But the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

22 The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich,

and he adds no sorrow with it.

23 Doing wrong is fun for a fool,

but living wisely brings pleasure to the sensible.

24 The fears of the wicked will be fulfilled;

the hopes of the godly will be granted.

22 The blessing of the Lord makes one rich,

And He adds no sorrow with it.

23 To do evil is like sport to a fool,

But a man of understanding has wisdom.

24 The fear of the wicked will come upon him,

And the desire of the righteous will be granted.

22 The Lord’s blessing brings wealth,

and no sorrow comes with it.

23 A foolish person enjoys doing wrong,

but a person with understanding enjoys doing what is wise.

24 Evil people will get what they fear most,

but good people will get what they want most.

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;

And so is wisdom 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.

22 The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow to it.

23 It is as sport to a foolish man to do wickedness; but a man of understanding hath wisdom.

24 The fear of a wicked man, it shall come upon him; but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

22 It is the Lord’s blessing that makes a person rich, 

and hard work adds nothing to it. 

23 Like the laughter of a fool when he carries out an evil plan, 

so is wisdom to a person who has understanding. 

24 That which wicked people dread happens to them, 

but ⸤the Lord⸥ grants the desire of righteous people. 

22 The Lord’s blessing enriches,

and struggle adds nothing to it.

23 As shameful conduct is pleasure for a fool,

so wisdom is for a man of understanding.

24 What the wicked dreads will come to him,

but what the righteous desire will be given to them.

22 The blessing of the Lord makes rich,

and toil adds nothing to it.

23 Doing wrong is like sport to a fool,

but wise conduct is pleasure to a person of understanding.

24 What the wicked dread will come upon them,

but the desire of the righteous will be granted.

22 The blessing of Yahweh makes one rich,

and he does not increase sorrow with it.

23 It is like a sport for a fool to do wrong,

wisdom for a person of understanding.

24 The dread of the wicked will come upon him,

but the desire of the righteous will be granted.

22 The blessing of the Lord brings wealth.

Trouble doesn’t come with it.

23 A foolish person finds pleasure in doing evil things.

But a man who has understanding takes delight in wisdom.

24 What sinners are afraid of will catch up with them.

But those who do right will get what they want.

22 It is the blessing of the Lord that makes rich,

And He adds no sorrow to it.

23 Doing wickedness is like sport to a fool,

And so is wisdom to a man of understanding.

24 What the wicked fears will come upon him,

But the desire of the righteous will be granted.
