1 These are the wise words of Solomon:Wise children make their father happy,but foolish children make their mother sad.
2 Riches gotten by doing wrong have no value,but right living will save you from death.
3 The Lord does not let good people go hungry,but he keeps evil people from getting what they want.
4 A lazy person will end up poor,but a hard worker will become rich.
5 Those who gather crops on time are wise,but those who sleep through the harvest are a disgrace.
