1 The Proverbs of Solomon.A wise son maketh a glad father:but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.
2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing:but righteousness delivereth from death.
3 The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish:but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.
4 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand:but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
5 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
6 Blessings are upon the head of the just:but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
