1 A wise son makes a glad father; but a foolish son is sadness unto his mother.
2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death.
3 The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish, but wickedness shall cast out the wicked.
4 He that deals with a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.
5 He that gathers in summer is a wise son, but he that sleeps in harvest is a son that causes shame.
