1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish son is a grief to his mother.
2 Ill-gotten gains do not profit, But righteousness delivers from death.
3 The Lord will not allow the righteous to hunger, But He will reject the craving of the wicked.
4 Poor is he who works with a negligent hand, But the hand of the diligent makes rich.
