Pr. 10:1 Grief of his mother-who feels it most deeply as she plays the more intimate role in raising a child.
Pr. 10:2The greatest of all treasures, life, is gained by righteousness.
Pr. 10:3 Desires of the wicked-for awhile they seem to realize their desires but in the end, God removes their accompllishments beacuse they are evil (see Ps 37:16-20)
Pr. 10:4 Diligent -this is in contrast to the sluggard-poverty by itself is not evil unless it is a product of laziness.
Pr. 10:5 gathers...sleeps. The timing necessary in agriculture can be applied to the general laying hold of life's opportunities (i.e. farmers msut take advantage of the season to plant,harvest,etc.) opportunities
Pr. 10:6 violence-which has gone forth from the wicked later falls back upon his foul mouth.
Pr. 10:7 memory...name-refers to the way a righteous person is remembered by man and God after his death.
Pr.10:8 receive commands-the wise listen and is teachable and therefore, will be lifted up. The fool always talking falls because he rejects God's commands.
Pr. 10:9 He who has integrity(who lives what they believe) exist without fear of some evil being discovered,while those who are perverse and have secret wickedness will not be able to hide it.
Pr. 10:10 winks -fearing detection and to hide his intentions, the deceiver spoke lies to their victim while tiving signals with his eyes,hands and feet to someone else in on the deception to carry out the intrigue.

hi, i got the following comments from bible commentaries. hope it helps.
#1. They are short but weighty sentences; most of them are distichs, two sentences in one verse, illustrating each other; but it is seldom that there is any coherence between the verses, much less any thread of discourse, and therefore in these chapters we need not attempt to reduce the contents to their proper heads, the several sentences will appear best in their own places. The scope of them all is to set before us good and evil, the blessing and the curse. Many of the proverbs in this chapter relate to the good government of the tongue, without which men's religion is vain.
#2. From this chapter to the "twenty fifth" are various proverbial sentences, without any very apparent connection or coherence with each other; describing righteous and wicked men; setting forth their different temper, conduct, and actions, and the fruits and effects of them. It should be observed, that frequently in the preceding chapters two persons are represented as women; one goes by the name of "Wisdom", the other is called the "foolish" woman and a "harlot"; the former is clearly to be understood of Christ; and the latter, being opposed to him, must be antichrist, the whore of Rome, and mother of harlots: now in the following part of this book two sorts of persons are spoken of; the one as wise, righteous, good, &c. and the other as foolish, wicked, &c. who are no other than the followers of Christ and antichrist; which observation is a key to the whole book.

Drawing upon the rural way of life, Solomon teaches 2 instructions in goodness. “The righteous one is worrying for the soul of his spouse and little ones animal,” he says, “even if the mercies of the depraved ones are merciless.” (Proverbs 12:10) The righteous guy treats his animals with kindness. He is regularly occurring with of their needs and has challenge for his or her welfare. A depraved individual ought to assert that he's in touch about animals, yet he's not stirred with assistance from their needs. His causes are selfish, and his medical care of animals is depending on the income that he can make from them. What such someone considers sufficient take care of animals ought to definitely be merciless medical care. the familiar of type medical care of animals applies to the care of pets as well. How merciless it should be to take up animals as pets and then reason them useless scuffling with assistance from neglecting or mistreating them! when it comes to an animal it extremely is suffering a great deal from extreme ailment or damage, kindness ought to call for ending its life.

Solomon's God-given wisdom is legendary, and these verses contain advice on desirable living. He was clearly an idealist, for we know that not all the good and bad things he forecast do eventuate in this earthly life; nevertheless they will in the life to come, and that is a wise reason for persevering in goodness in the face of injustice and oppression.

Download the e-Sword software along with some of the commentaries from the Freeware section of the Free Stuff page @ http://web.express56.com/~bromar/ and then you can read what the commentators have to say about each verse. Here's a sample for you to check out.
Proverbs 10:8 The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.
John Gill commentary - Pro 10:8 - The wise in heart will receive commandments,.... Such who have true wisdom in the hidden part of the heart, of which the fear of the Lord is the beginning: these will not only, as good subjects, honour their king, and attend to his lawful commands; and, as dutiful children, regard those of their parents; and, as faithful servants, hearken to those of their masters; but, as such that fear the Lord, will receive and cheerfully obey the commandments of God and Christ;
but a prating fool shall fall; like Diotrephes, that prated against the Apostle John and other saints. Or, "a fool of lips" (b); whose folly is proclaimed and made known by his lips; who, out of the abundance of it in his heart, speaks and pours it out by his lips: such an one falls into sin and into mischief; he falls into disgrace in this world, and into hell in the next. The Targum is,
"the fool by his lips shall be taken;''
as in a snare.
(b) אויל שפתים "stultus labiis", Montanus, &c.

They are short, contrasting proverbs emphasizing the radical difference between the wise living of the righteous and the evil living of the wicked.

Be ye wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove, listen to what you know or sure is correct.
The same as Jesus told the disciples.

It is really telling you what the righteous will do & what the unrighteous will do, Because it is talking about how the righteous will be & how the unrighteous will be.
