2 Ill-gotten gains do not profit anyone,but righteousness rescues from death.
3 The Lord will not let the righteous go hungry, but He denies the wicked what they crave.
4 Idle hands make one poor,but diligent hands bring riches.
5 The son who gathers during summer is prudent;the son who sleeps during harvest is disgraceful.
6 Blessings are on the head of the righteous,but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
7 The remembrance of the righteous is a blessing,but the name of the wicked will rot.
8 A wise heart accepts commands, but foolish lips will be destroyed.
