1 The Proverbs of Solomon:A wise son gives his father joy,but a foolish son is a grief to his mother.
2 Ill-gotten treasures profit nothing,but justice saves from death.
3 The Lord does not let the just go hungry,but the craving of the wicked he thwarts.
4 The slack hand impoverishes,but the busy hand brings riches.
5 A son who gathers in summer is a credit;a son who slumbers during harvest, a disgrace.
6 Blessings are for the head of the just;but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
7 The memory of the just serves as blessing,but the name of the wicked will rot.
