5 At harvest seasonit's smart to work hard,but stupid to sleep.
6 Everyone praises good people,but evil hides behindthe words of the wicked.
7 Good people are rememberedlong after they are gone,but the wickedare soon forgotten.
8 If you have good sense,you will listen and obey;if all you do is talk foolishly,you will destroy yourself.
9 You will be safe,if you always do right,but you will get caught,if you are dishonest.
10 Deceit causes trouble,and foolish talkwill bring you to ruin.
11 The words of good peopleare a source of life,but evil hides behindthe words of the wicked.
