Proverbs
Chapters 10:2-8
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
2Wealth gained by doing wrong will not really help you, but doing right will save you from death.
3The Lord takes care of good people and gives them the food they need, but he keeps the wicked from getting what they want.
4Lazy hands will make you poor; hard-working hands will make you rich.
5A son who works hard while it is harvest time will be successful, but one who sleeps through the harvest is worthless.
6People say good things about those who live right, but the words of the wicked only hide their violent plans.
7Good people leave memories that bless us, but the wicked are soon forgotten.
8The wise accept instruction, but fools argue and bring trouble on themselves.
