⁴Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth. ⁵He who gathers crops in summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son. ⁶Blessings crown the head of the righteous, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked. ⁷The name of the righteous is used in blessings, but the name of the wicked will rot. ⁸The wise in heart accept commands, but a chattering fool comes to ruin. ⁹Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out. ¹⁰Whoever winks maliciously causes grief, and a chattering fool comes to ruin.
